The first designation for the post-switchover multiplexes was: multiplexes 1 and 2 were prefixed "PSB" (for Public Service Broadcasting) and multiplex B becomes "PSB3". The commercial multiplexes A, C and D became "COM4", "COM5" and "COM6". As switchover the PSB1, PSB3, COM5 and COM6 will switch to 64QAM mode transmission, so all multiplexes will transmit in the 64QAM (2/3) 8k mode.
However, Ofcom now calls the PSB multiplexes BBCA, D3+4 and BBCB, the commercial ones are SDN, ArqA and ArqB. In addition the BBCB multiplex will now, from December 2009, be used for the 256QAM DVB-T2 high definition service. This multiplex MAY also be provided from some transmitters before switchover.

High Definition television. What is the fuss all about? HD TV is sports, movies, documentaries, music as you've never seen and heard before. Sharp details, brighter colours and amazing sound with a quality 4 times better than any standard digital TV.
Freesat is the first FREE service of this kind which will bring more than 80 entertainment channels without subscription. All you need is a HD ready TV set, a satellite dish and a digital HD box.
This will be a one-off fee, just the money for the components and the installation. No more money to SKY, no subscriptions to pay every month.
To receive High Definition channels you will need a satellite dish. We install a 43 or 60cm, but other sizes are available. And if you have already a SKY minidish, all you need will be the HD satellite receiver. www.freesat.co.uk

Freeview is simple to set up, easy to use and great value. With Freeview there is no contract, no subscription and no phone connection! You'll need a small box which you can get from around £25 to £50 at your local electrical retailer. Call us on 0800 132880 for coverage in your area.
