Spectrum clearance

700 MHz Clearance Programme was a UK Government funded programme to clear airwaves used for Freeview and other digital terrestrial TV services such as BT TV and YouView. The programme increased capacity for future mobile broadband services. Digital UK (DUK) and Mova, then Digital Mobile Spectrum Ltd (DMSL), delivered this programme, working closely with Freeview and other industry partners.

Mova, then DMSL, supported the programme by arranging engineers to investigate the cause of TV reception problems and undertake necessary work, including installing a replacement rooftop aerial where required.
