dean: Most DVB-T dongles do come with sufficient software to allow you to watch the odd channels, but without the full Media Center facilities.

bob davies: The configuration is in the NIT - the Network Information Table - part of the DVB-T broadcast, your software should be able to read this configuration and use it.

Des Collier: That's correct.

In effect the PSB multiplexes will use three of the four old analogue networks (as analogue Channel 5 only used two RF channels) and the fourth has been hived for for the "digital dividend"

So, as before, the COM multiplexes will fit into "gaps" in the old analogue plan.

This means that on some transmitters the COM multiplexes have to have power restrictions to stop taking analogue transmissions off air in neighbouring regions until they are converted to digital broadcasting.

It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the basic plan.
