Damian: Sorry for not replying sooner.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will see what I can do.
It's odd you say "Almost all our relatively new receiving equipment will not reallocate channels by region /transmission group" as the latest D-Book specifically requires Freeview boxes to offer a region selection.
All Freeview HD boxes do this.

dennis: yes... You will need a suitable box such as BT vision and a card.
On youview the channels are in the IPTV range and no card is needed.

Ian from notts: Yes, any Sky box using C68 will potentially now get interference from 4G (at 800MHz) signals when they launch.
It's worth remembering that 4G is ONLY used for data. It is - as it is for IP traffic - asynchronous.
4G phones will continue to use 2G and 3G for synchronous telephone calls.
And, of course, it is only the 4G services in the 800MHz band - so not the current EE @ 1800MHz service.

Ian from notts: It won't be an "illegal broadcast" if the signal stays inside an RF cable.
Virgin Media's cable system overlaps with Freeview already, and that's perfectly legal.
It's a question of how good the cables, connectors and connections are in a domestic install.
I've seen plenty of instances of RF outputs being attached aerial downlinks, thus sending the signal out of the aerial, or of unscreened cables being used.
And how many broken fly-leads must there be in the UK?
