Well unfortunately spectrum is rather scarce, so when they stopped using
BandIII for TV it was bound to be used up for other things.

They could have done what the entire rest of europe did and just keep
it for broadcasting 625 line TV instead. Last time I looked the laws
of physics didn't preclude the PAL colour system from using those
frequencies. But no , in true british fashion it was flogged off to
the highest bidders.

What Band 3?, if so to whom?..

If you are serious, simplistically Band I to Band III is VHF (very
high frequency). Band I used to be BBC television, 405 lines, black
and white. Band II is FM radio. Band III used to be ITA (Independent
Television Authority) television services, 405 lines, black and white.

Bands IV and V are UHF (ultra high frequency). These bands are used
for colour television, starting with BBC2 when it was launched then
followed by BBC1 and independent television when colour was
introduced.


Thank you for the lecture, I sometimes wonder what I've been doing for
the last 40 years in radio and TV nor to have noticed that;)

Someone else will have to explain the 'to whom' bit.

Yes and its totally wrong, Band 3 has not been flogged off!...
