All COM8 transmitters will be 1/2 FEC now. It's essential that all sites in a SFN broadcast the exact same data (and Arqiva only have one source, point to multipoint for that datastream anyway). The big transmitter sites are also remotely accessible via IP networks so probably easy to do, too, including an update to the SI/PSI kit.
Bilsdale is monitored on digitalbitrate and that confirms COM8 there is at 1/2 FEC.
Back ON topic.
From what I've read about this new Arris box range, it is very disappointing and a missed opportunity for an additional tuner or two from Freesat.
4k: It is most unlikely we'll see much broadcast over the airwaves from the UK. But these boxes will be ready for 4k Wimbledon etc.,. from iPlayer (and other sources).
iPTV is seen as the future delivery mechanism for "broadcast" TV.
