But "a couple of days of testing" would mean that people loose access to regional BBC One on satellite completely, wouldn't it? Because where do they point the LCNs of the transponder that is about to change to?
I'd think the BBC would like to avoid such a situation.
They're being done in an order so that by the time one transponder closes the equivalent HD region will already exist. The national services will already have an SD equivalent on air on the nightlight.
It's not a big bang, it's a big shuffle
