[QUOTE="spiney, post: 268554, member: 192438"] Gameboy, I found this news item very puzzling, any more info? As I understand it, the BBC is considering a 1.5M "bond" - effectively "shares" - to complete digital terrestrial changeover, otherwise the license fee would go up (the government won't pay for it from our taxes, fair enough I suppose!). However, there's no point at all in building any "high power network", unless to achieve the same coverage from fewer transmitter sites, but considering the difficulties of DTT reception that would be unwise, and I'm not aware of any such plans. What IS proposed is moving to 8k transmission, after analogue switchoff, which would improve reception. [/QUOTE]
