Actually, it seems that according to 
http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SU527568 if you scroll down a bit, there's a 
new table showing the relationship between muxes, channels and frequencies by 
date. This indicates that there will be four new muxes by 2015. I can't imagine 
that there will be anything worth watching on any of them, though.
