That can happen **at the moment**. Once DSO is complete, then it will 
**not** be the case - there will be a standard set of channels/mux 
nationwide. There will still be the chance to get regional variations 
- eg BBC A may carry BBC2 NW from one Tx, and BBC Wales on another. 
Thus you may want to tune the BBC A mux from both if you have a 
desire to get BBC Wales programming.

Based on my observations while we were going through the hassle ...
Until DSO is complete, they tend to stick use a different lineup. As 
I think I mentioned earlier, they may (for example) put the five main 
channels on one mux for local repeaters - in our region they replaced 
BBC2 analogue with one mux about a month before analogue switch off.
