How come after switchover channel 29 will be used for MUX SDN on Waltham but is to be used for MUX new8 on Sutton Coldfield? Wont this cause problems or is it just a typing error.

So will channel 59 on waltham (new8) be the same? if so why didn't they use this for mux sdn and 29 for new8 on waltham, at least then 1000s wouldn't have needed to change to a wide band aerial, or do ofcom have shares in areal company's???

Steve its nothing to do with that.

Astra 2D carries most of the free stuff and it has limited capacity, this satellite has a very tightly focused beam on the UK, programs on stations like Dave have to comply with broadcast rights and cant be broadcast outside the UK so cant be broadcast on the wider beamed Astra satellites without being encrypted.

This is true, and they could also still be locked into a contract like channel 5 were, meaning they cant got FTV or FTA.
