Some observers have argued that this failure stemmed from the Government's eagerness in having sold off too much TV spectrum to launch <a href="/wiki/Channel_5_(British_TV_channel)" title="Channel 5 (British TV channel)">Channel 5</a> (the last UK terrestrial analogue channel), and ONdigital's short-sightedness in over-extending its use of available bandwidth: using poor signal encoding to maintain compatibility with early <a href="/wiki/Set-top_box" title="Set-top box">set-top boxes</a>, optimising their broadcasts for capacity rather than reliability, and cramming too many channels into the available bandwidth. </p><p>ITV Digital was replaced in late 2002 by <a href="/wiki/Freeview_(UK)" title="Freeview (UK)">Freeview</a>, which uses the same <a href="/wiki/DVB-T" title="DVB-T">DVB-T</a> technology, but with higher levels of <a href="/wiki/Error_correction" class="mw-redirect" title="Error correction">error correction</a> and more robust (but lower-capacity) modulation on the "Public Service" multiplexes in an attempt to counter the reception problems which dogged its predecessor. Rather than concentrating on <a href="/wiki/Pay_TV" class="mw-redirect" title="Pay TV">Pay TV</a> services, <a href="/wiki/Freeview_(UK)" title="Freeview (UK)">Freeview</a> uses the available capacity to provide a <a href="/wiki/Free-to-air" title="Free-to-air">free-to-air</a> service that includes all the existing five free-to-air analogue terrestrial channels and about twenty new digital channels. All services are transmitted in <a href="/wiki/Standard_definition" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard definition">standard definition</a>—<a href="/wiki/576i" title="576i">576i</a> in the UK—many using an <a href="/wiki/Anamorphic_widescreen" title="Anamorphic widescreen">anamorphic widescreen</a> format. </p><p>31 March 2004 saw the return of a limited pay-television offering to the digital terrestrial platform with the launch of <a href="/wiki/Top_Up_TV" title="Top Up TV">Top Up TV</a>. This new service is designed to appeal to those who do not want to pay the higher subscription fees that Sky Television and the Cable networks demanded. The service carries some of the UK's most watched channels including the <a href="/wiki/Discovery_Channel" title="Discovery Channel">Discovery Channel</a>, <a href="/wiki/UKTV_Gold" class="mw-redirect" title="UKTV Gold">UKTV Gold</a>, Discovery Real Time, <a href="/wiki/British_Eurosport" class="mw-redirect" title="British Eurosport">British Eurosport</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cartoon_Network" title="Cartoon Network">Cartoon Network</a>. The 10 channels are split into five different slots and broadcast for only part of the day. In October 2006, Top Up TV became Top Up TV Anytime, taking advantage of the increase in the popularity of <a href="/wiki/Personal_video_recorder" class="mw-redirect" title="Personal video recorder">PVRs</a>, and its limited channel space. Now over 100 programs are broadcast overnight and added to the box's <a href="/wiki/Hard_disk" class="mw-redirect" title="Hard disk">hard disk</a>, so that it may be watched at any time. Channels that joined the service include <a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nickelodeon" title="Nickelodeon">Nickelodeon</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hallmark_Channel" title="Hallmark Channel">Hallmark Channel</a>. </p><p>2005 saw the first areas of the United Kingdom losing their analogue signal in a pilot test. The residents of Ferryside and Llansteffan in <a href="/wiki/Carmarthenshire" title="Carmarthenshire">Carmarthenshire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wales" title="Wales">Wales</a> who had not already upgraded to digital television were given a free set-top box to receive the <a href="/wiki/Freeview_(UK)" title="Freeview (UK)">Freeview</a> television service, which includes <a href="/wiki/Channel_4" title="Channel 4">Channel 4</a> (previously unavailable terrestrially from transmitters in Wales) and <a href="/wiki/S4C" title="S4C">S4C</a>~2, which broadcasts sessions of the <a href="/wiki/National_Assembly_for_Wales" class="mw-redirect" title="National Assembly for Wales">National Assembly for Wales</a>. Digital transmissions for this pilot commenced in December 2004, at which time a message was added to the analogue picture advising viewers that the analogue services would end in February 2005. The pilot paved the way for full switch-over to digital television signals throughout the United Kingdom by the Government's deadline of 2012. </p><p>The year 2005 also saw the announcement by <a href="/wiki/Ofcom" title="Ofcom">Ofcom</a> of the proposed <a href="/wiki/Digital_terrestrial_television_in_the_United_Kingdom#Digital_switchover" title="Digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom">analogue switch off</a> plans for the UK. It is proposed that the switch off would progress on an <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)" title="ITV (TV network)">ITV</a> region by region basis starting in 2008 starting in the <a href="/wiki/Border_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Border Television">Border Television</a> region and ending in the <a href="/wiki/Channel_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Channel Television">Channel Television</a> region in 2012. The coverage of the three public service multiplexes will be the same as that enjoyed by the current analogue TV stations, while the three commercial multiplexes will cover approximately 90% of the UK population. To improve long standing interference issues in the <a href="/wiki/Meridian_Broadcasting" class="mw-redirect" title="Meridian Broadcasting">Meridian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Anglia_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Anglia Television">Anglia</a> franchise areas a small number of new transmitters will be brought into service when those regions are converted in 2010 and 2011.
