RE: OnDigital Signal Breakup...

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The reason they are in the area of the analogue channels it that most
digital muxes are broadcast on the "TABOO" channels
http://developer.domaindlx.com/diyha/scripts/selectregion.asp
) to avoid
clogging the already congested UHF spectrum.

As to more UHF channels becoming available, they may well get extra muxes
but I bet they would only use them for "Premium" channels. Look
how many
"Extra" channels SKY have given in the multichannel packages.
Mostly crap
but stealing bandwidth from the few that I used to watch with picture
quality degraded on all of them. :-(
