DTT) Multiplex Licences Expiring in 2022 and 2026
Consultation on the renewal of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) multiplex licences expiring in 2022 and 2026 18 December 2020 Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Foreword By the Rt Hon. John Whittingdale OBE MP, Minister of State for Media and Data UK television audiences are fortunate to enjoy an incredibly broad range of programming and to possess a variety of methods by which to watch it. The Digital Terrestrial Television platform, better known as Freeview, is one of the most popular methods of accessing TV content in the UK. Since its launch in 1998 it has become one of the biggest and best-loved platforms, transmitting the nation’s favourite programmes to 18 million homes across the country. Freeview is also a vital part of the public service broadcasting (PSB) system, ensuring that PSB content is free at the point of use and widely accessible, with nearly 99% coverage across the UK. Public service broadcasting plays an important role in the economic, cultural and democratic life of our country; keeping people informed, educated and entertained. The value of PSB - and the Freeview platform that continues to underpin it - has been particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic, as an important source of news, in countering misinformation, and in bringing the nation together through shared moments. PSB and commercial content is provided on the Freeview platform through separate digital networks known as multiplexes, of which there are six nationally. Two of the national multiplex licences - Multiplex 2 and Multiplex A - are expiring in 2022. To renew these licences, the government is required to make secondary legislation. -

The Future of Digital Terrestrial Television
THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION Purpose of this document This document sets out the BBC Trust’s response to the Ofcom consultation document on the future of digital terrestrial television (DTT). Context The Trust’s consideration of Ofcom’s proposals must take into account a number of different aspects of our remit: • Our duties under the BBC Charter and Agreement to act as guardian of the licence fee and the public interest, to represent the interests of licence fee payers and to exercise rigorous stewardship of public money • Our regulatory interest in ensuring the efficient use of spectrum by the BBC • Our regulatory obligations with respect to any ‘non-service’ application that might be made to the Trust by the BBC Executive This response has been prepared with each of those interests in mind. The Trust welcomes Ofcom’s consultation. As noted in our conclusions on the Public Value Test for the BBC Executive’s proposed high definition (HD) service, we would like to see the BBC’s HD service launched on Freeview as soon as possible. We also recognise that there are advantages, in terms of achieving the critical mass necessary for existing Freeview users to upgrade to HD-compatible equipment, in seeking ways to establish other PSB HD services on the DTT platform in a co-ordinated way. Ofcom shared this view in its MIA work, concluding that the Trust should: “…ensure that the launch of any BBC HD channel on DTT is considered in the context of the potential delivery of a wider range of HD services on DTT. -

The revised lists appended to this public notice supersede those appended to Revised lists of eligible satellite services, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-105, 24 November 2005. Introduction 1. On 15 December 2004, the Commission received a request from Cable VDN Inc. (VDN), acting as Canadian sponsor,1 to add Bridges TV, a non-Canadian satellite service, to the lists of eligible satellite services for distribution on a digital basis (the digital lists). 2. VDN described Bridges TV as follows: Bridges TV is a U.S.-based English-language cultural, lifestyle, and entertainment programming service that is targeted to the interests of people of Muslim heritage. The programming on Bridges TV is 90% in English with a small amount of programming translated from languages other than English by way of open-captioning. 3. The Commission subsequently issued Call for comments on a proposal to add Bridges TV to the lists of eligible satellite services for distribution on a digital basis, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-23, 18 March 2005. Positions of parties 4. The Commission received more than two thousand comments in support of VDN’s request. The vast majority of support came from individuals. For the most part, these individuals argued that Bridges TV would foster cultural diversity and enhance understanding of Islam among Canadian Muslims and people of other faiths. -

The Combined Power of Dvb-T2 & Hevc for Multiple Hd
Press Release For Immediate Release Contact: Harold Bergin WHD Public Relations Tel: +44 20 7799 3100 E-mail: [email protected] THE COMBINED POWER OF DVB-T2 & HEVC FOR MULTIPLE HD SERVICES ON DISPLAY AT BCA 7 HDTV Channels Over A Single 8MHz DVB-T2 Multiplex 2 - 5 June 2015, BroadcastAsia, Singapore, Stand 5L5-03 Singapore – 2 June, 2015 – Visitors to this year’s BroadcastAsia Conference and Exhibition (BCA) in Singapore should not miss the opportunity to visit the DVB stand to witness firsthand the revolutionary effect the combined power the DVB-T2 standard and HEVC coding will have in the delivery of multiple channels of HD services. The demonstration illustrates the future-proof nature of DVB standards. With most countries in the Asia-Pacific region having chosen to implement either DVB-T or leapfrogged directly to DVB-T2, this is an ideal opportunity for BCA delegates to visit the DVB booth to see for themselves a demonstration that illustrates the efficiency and power of DVB-T2 through combining 7 HEVC encoded High Definition streams into a single 8MHz multiplex, whilst using a very robust transmission mode for indoor and portable reception. The single transmission will be received on both fixed receivers and on portable receivers in a large part of the coverage area. DVB has a strong presence in the official BCA 2015 Conference Program. In Track T3: "Digital Broadcasting - Standards, Technologies & Implementation" being held on day two of the conference, DVB is represented in a number of sessions throughout the day including: "Updates on the Latest DVB Activities"; "Sharing Practical Lessons and Experiences in Deploying DVB-T2"; "DVB-UHDTV, Going Beyond HD"; "DVB-S2X, Readying for a New Decade of Successful Digital Satellite Broadcasting"; "DVB-S2X and 4K - An Industry in Transition"; and DVB's role in "The Future of DTT Technologies".
