A map of the proposed 700MHz move I saw had the most populated areas of Scotland switch in 2019 as I recall so this wouldn't help with space for most. The areas allocated for this this year cover mostly rural, low population areas in the north.
Those working in the industry seem to believe that the PSB SD channels will be switched off around 2020.

The carrot to upgrade to T2 was extra channels eg 4Seven +1HD, Channel +1 HD, then some existing channels moved over. The stick will be when people realise that they will lose channels 1 to 5 etc unless they upgrade.

Reminds me of the various DSO strategies.
