Also having it only on L-Band probably didn't help, as that makes it
very expensive to provide any reasonable coverage. I seem to remember
reading that coverage was very limited, and there were sod all receivers
available in the shops.

Using frequencies in the Ghz range is pretty dumb for an earthbound broadcast
system that needs to penetrate hills and buildings. You'd think they'd have
figured that out before they started the tests.

It is a good frequency band for a high capacity type of GSM phone system
but hardly appropriate for low cost Broadcasting;!...

They thought at one time that it would be good to replace analog
low-power community radio and perhaps local radio. National and some
regional radio could use Band III.
