K. Hilton: I think most of the time the channel is a live action -

Beacon Hill will stop transmitting the channels to Torbay at the end of March, with the rest of Cornwall they will stop from 19 June 2019. These channels are on the so-called com7 and com8 multiplexes, which are being withdrawn from Cornwall. This is ahead of the rest of the UK where the licence expires May 2020.

Jonathan Martin: Perhaps, but I suspect you might be missing the point of this very site...

Roger Viles: I'm just compiling an article that I hope will answer the question of what will happen to Freeview HD missing services.
I'm sorry to say that for the moment, the BBC Four service on Freeview is on an "interim" service that was only ever meant to least until the start of 2020.
It should be possible to BBC FOUR HD/CBeebies HD to be restored to Freeview soon. It mainly depends on when the old non-Freeview boxes and TVs have been replaced.

Dave: The "More 4+1" channel is using about 1/3rd of the capacity of a HD channel, and is fitting into a (relatiy) tiny amount of space. There isn't room for another full HD channel on PSB3.

Chris: Clearly, the whole point of this is to have the local BBC One and ITV/STV/UTV services on Freeview HD.
Doing this would not dictate changes to the outputs of the satellite services.

42Jon: Yes, you are correct, there is also the gains made from moving SD channels to MPEG4.
I had included those calculations in the spreadsheet I had made that I based the article on, but I though that there was only a certain level of complexity to the numbers that would leave the article understandable.
The main upshot of this is that it would be possible for the BBCA and D3&4 multiplexes to upgrade a few more channels to full HD (BBC Four HD, BBC News HD, BBC Scotland HD) or a mixture of HD and SD+1 channels (ITV 2 HD and ITV 2+1).

Pete Forman: The problem with the Midhurt page is not that I don't know that it is showing changes that aren't due until later this year, but that fixing it and not breaking everything else on the site that links to the same data is very tricky.
There are at least 38 references to a table that has a flat structure of one-date-per-transmitter which is mostly true. The design of the databases that drive this site are now 17 years old in places. Making changes that don't break other things are tricky.
