Re: Some thoughts on possible future Freeview capacity usage at MPEG4 switchover
Firstly, you can’t radiate a mux from the 1000 or so small relays & not from the main stations. These Relays are just transposer sites, usually in remote places with just a power supply. They pick up the main stations transmissions, transpose them to new frequencies & then re-transmit them. The main stations are the only ones directly wired to the network. The only exceptions are the ones that operate as Single Frequency Networks with a main transmitter or another adjacent relay.

Also VM can shoehorn more channels into their muxes as they have complete control over the network they are operating on. DTT operates under a lot of external factors that do not affect cable transmission.
