The statement...
"The United Kingdom has approximately 90 free-to-air digital channels, for which a promotional and marketing plan is being devised by the BBC and ITV, to be sold as "Freesat". It is intended to provide a multi-channel service for areas which cannot receive Freeview, and eventually replace their network of UHF repeaters in these areas"
...is not correct, as after the analogue UHF switchoff, digital UHF power will be ramped up to provide better coverage than the current terrestrial footprint. Freesat is at most a complementary service, possibly allowing the broadcast of HDTV and AC3 simulcasts in the long run.
