If this theory is correct, it would be scuppered by this. Maybe the BBC expect to be able to afford to make the regions operate in full HD by 2020??

@ jj20x Do the scans give any indication of any DVB type that might be used?
The PSB channels will continue in SD for the foreseeable future. A forced move to MPEG4 was discussed, but there are many standard DVB-T only sets still out there & this is unlikely to happen.
