o2: I would contact your mobile operator. Digital switchover has no connection whatsoever with the mobile phone networks.

Trevor harris: Looking at the Ofcom "advice", the general principle seems to be that if re-advertised then Channel 3 would be split into four licences: one for England, one for Scotland, one for Wales and one for Northern Ireland.
This would split the Wales and West licence apart, and also the Border licence.
It is worth noting, of course, that if another bidder for Channel 3 won the "England" licence, then "ITV 1" would have to relocate itself to a commercial multiplex, and take the EPG slot for ITV2 (6, 118, 113).
This would mean that ITV disappears from homes with just "PSB" coverage, and ITV 1 HD would go from Freeview HD.
However, unlike the last time, where I watched at the BT Tower the actual demise of the "unseated" C3 companies, ITV plc could easily continue to broadcast to most homes.
The same applies to Channel 5 - if the "new" Channel 5 company got a PSB2 slot and the "5" position on the EPG, the existing Channel 5 could continue, but on 6/118/113 using the space on COM4/SDN.

Des Collier: There are, but those in the 700MHz and 800MHz bands have excellent pentration into buildings and low power requirements.
4G will be working in other bands, but for "urban" use, 800MHz will be key.

Sue Orchard: Please see the box at the top of the page for details of channel numbers.
I don't think the channel runs all day on all systems.

Andy: Don't connect the aerial into the "RF in" on the first box - bypass the box if you don't want to change channels on it.

Punchykow: You will be able to watch BBC One, BBC HD, Channel 4 and ITV HD if you stop the subscription, as they are broadcast free-to-air. Channel 5 HD requires a subscription.
You will, of course, only be able to watch the channels on you Sky HD box, not the Sky+ box.
If you replace the Sky+ with a Freesat+HD box (which is a simple swap-over) you will get the above HD channels.
