A lot of countries are going through sort of 2nd DSO now and are retiring DVB-T by switching completely to DVB-T2 with HEVC encoding. Poland just did it's switchover, just the PSB got an extension for the old system because of the war in Ukraine.

There's definitely a strong case for the UK to do the same, even if it gave the PSB an extension on the old system as per Poland. Whether OFCOM and/or government have any interest in doing this in the near future though remains to be seen.
