The temporary multiplexes are Arqiva-owned multiplexes called COM7 and COM8, DVB-T2 multiplexes for Freeview HD capable devices carrying some channels including HD channels. COM7 is made up of mostly [[Timeshift channel|+1s]] and HDs such as More4+1 and [[BBC News]] HD. COM8 consisted of +1s, HDs and other channels such as [[Now 80s|NOW 80s]], [[PBS America|PBS America+1]]  and [[BBC Four|BBC Four HD]]. Over the decade these multiplexes are being shut off with COM8 closing on 6 June 2020, with many +1 and HD channels like 5Star+1 and 4seven HD closing and others (like Now 80s) moving to COM7.{{Citation needed|date=February 2021}}
