Not necessarily. Mux B will be switched to DVB-T2, and all remaining 16QAM
muxes will be switched to 64QAM. Eventually, all channels will be using
H.264, though not necessarily with any increase in resolution (at most, we'll
see the disappearance of 544x576). The overly-compressed ones will have a
very good chance to improve their picture quality here – we hope.
