I'm presuming that England (& the rest of the UK of course) was the first de facto (then de jure in 1985) UHF country in the world? I know some areas of America & Canada were known as UHF islands as there were no VHF TX's in range, South Bend Indiana was one AFAIK, there must have been others as well...
There were some very remote parts of the UK that couldn't get UHF TV right up till VHF close down in 1985 & had to watch old 405 lines VHF TV's that'd only get BBC1 & ITV up till then, I presume they'd have been TVless till satellite TV fired up in the late 1980's. Heard they'd get friends/relatives to record their favourite TV shows for them..
