Re: Not wanting to state the obvious
Try to do the same thing with satellite and you end up using a lot of bandwidth to provide different channels instead of the regional separation that a terrestrial network provides naturally.
Of course, that is already the way it works. I believe the BBC now broadcasts every regional opt-out on satellite so that the receiver can give you your local news (etc.) when you give it your postcode. Certainly there's a lot of BBC1 choice in the 900-range on Freesat, though I can't be definite that everything is there. Not sure about Sky since we don't have it - presumably as well as paying for the bandwidth they would have to pay Sky listing fees?
