Why would they need to get rid of them for bandwidth anyway, sky has loads of bandwidth, so does virgin and any new channels on freeview hd would need a new mux unless they are planning to make the video quality even worse for freeview hd and have 5 channels on 1 mux instead of 4.

analog will be switched off in around 12 months anyway, so i don't see why the red button needs to go other than cutting costs.
The BBC could be looking at more HD output, as it has started to leak out that Ofcom is releasing more spectrum to Freeview over the next 5 years.
