And “the industry”, which doesn’t want to pay to keep using the reliable, well-understood thing they’ve been using for 20 years, will pay for this new thing that hasn’t been specified or designed, much less built and tested, because of course they just will.
The ‘problems’ you raise are non-problems, just as your ‘not enough electricity’ argument you rammed at me some years ago.

DTT could be improved as you say, but the point is that the broadcasters only want one system. You are not grasping that, are you?

If you read my most recent posts above, you would not come to that conclusion, Mr K. I’m putting forward what I think and looking for stumbling blocks to seeing that through to fruition. I’ve not heard anything credible to counteract my view yet, that is all.

That 2035 date I postulated 10 years ago is now all over the media, but it’s like water off a duck’s back on this forum!
