the problem is not Hispasat.
the problem is free capacity on the limited frequencies of the DVB-T MUXES.
ABERTIS TDT-SAT is in fact not a platform build for direct to home reception. It is the main FEED for the terrestrial network in Spain.
everything happening on the ABERTIS Hispasat frequencies is in function of the terrestrial network.
the terrestrial frequencies are very scarce. Every couple of years the telecom industries with their 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G,… internet connectivity keep taking away free space from the frequencies that once belonged to Digital terrestrial Television.
you Will see that in the future ( like this summer) probably more changes are required on the Spanish DVB-T network. Because the second UHD channel of RTVE will also appear to broadcast more of the Paris olympics in UHD.
I can only imagine but my guess is that the Private Spanish MUXES will also have to undergo some sort of “defragmentation“ to use the Maximum bandwidth as possible. I guess the TV channel DKISS will have to move from RGE2 to another Private mux to make place for this second UHD channel.
only to say that it isn’t all that easy to reorganise such things.
I agree however 100% that the planification of the SD switch off (and all the delays it brings with it) is the result of poor planning, communication and pre-testing.
