If Sky have use of the TV band, and so do terrestrial transmitters, I
don't see why they don't interfere.


You can't have two things on the same frequency.


You can actually, particularly with satellites where
you point the dish at the satellite you want to use.


Except in this case one of the two things isn't a satellite but is
floating around everywhere, it's surprising the dish doesn't pick that up.


Its not surprising at all, dishes are very directional.

Assuming it doesn't,


Its not an assumption.

how come we haven't always been duplicating use of the UHF band like this?


Satellites are much higher freq than the terrestrial UHF channels.

guess they rely on the robust error checking of the digital systems. I

a receiver that can cover from the top of dab to 2 gig, but surely this
also
has the military air band in it?
