As I say, it doesn't take an Einstein to see that we have five analogue channels and five digital multiplexes.
Hopefully the multiplexes will launch in the channels that get vacated, keep things in group and meaning no new aerials - and it would be a lot easier for the engineers. As soon as possible, the Government should say whether or not this will happen and if multiplexes on masts which have both analogue and digital will move into the channels previously used for analogue when analogue is switched off on those masts.
I can't see them making any big announcements, though, no matter what we say. It'd be so much easier, though, as you'd be able to say to people that once analogue is switched off, they WILL be able to get digital through their existing aerial if they get good analogue reception with it currently.
