But will the frequencies change during analogue switch off?

Yes, definitely. In most areas the three public-service muxes will move
on to three of the four original analogue channels. The other three
will go elsewhere, TBA. Channels 31-40 and 63-68 will no longer be used
for what is currently called Freeview, but might be used for new TV
services such as HD and/or DVB-H.


Now that differs from my understanding that all the digital will be up in
group C/D. That gives the Bliar thieves the whole of groups A and B to sell
off. Surely there is no other reason for the rapid push to a digital
service?

It was always the original intention to make money aka the 3G sell off
(albeit on a much smaller scale), as it is there are numerous parts of
the existing allocations lying idle due to the demand completely
evaporating. So the sell off is increasingly more likely not going to
happen, particularly when 99% of traffic uses / will use GSM900/1800
or 3G.
