List of DTT channels in the United Kingdom

Last updated

This is a list of the current channels available on digital terrestrial television (DTT) in the United Kingdom, and those that have been removed.

Contents

Almost all channels broadcast on DTT are free-to-air, with a limited number of subscription channels (requiring a subscription to a pay-TV package) and pay-per-view channels (requiring a one-off payment to view an event) also available. Most free-to-air channels are promoted as part of the Freeview line-up.

The vast majority of multiplexed channels use DVB-T 64-QAM modulation, for PAL (576i), radio and interactive channels. HDTV (1080i) channels use DVB-T2 256-QAM modulation and H.222 transports, while local channels [a] use DVB-T QPSK modulation. All HD channels are encoded in H.264 and subject to a MPEG-LA controlled transmission patent licensing tax which is included in the Freeview broadcaster cost and varies on viewership figures. This tax is currently paid via one of three registered licensees: the BBC, ITV and Sky plc. The SD channels continue to use H.262, which does not incur any additional transmission costs.

Below is an overview of the multiplexes in use:

Radio stations

Unlike the TV channels, the radio stations only broadcast as audio-only services and the station's logo (and sometimes information) is displayed on the screen. On BBC radio stations there are also interactive services via the red button. Those stations also broadcast on analogue radio, Digital Audio Broadcasting and online. BBC local radio stations for England are in the section above this list, as well as those from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
