Staggers me that Satellite users have either removed their DTT aerials or have selective amnesia about it's continued existence.
Why? A good number of people are convinced that the digital switchover was moving everyone to cable / satellite. Then there's the people who won't have a suitable aerial for DTT transmissions in their region. And those who live in places where there's only D-Sat distributed to apartments. Plenty of commercial installs don't bother with DTT reception either and just have centralised D-Sat receivers which are then distributed.
And then there's those who haven't done the hundreds of retunes needed to keep Freeview working on their sets (because they have sat/cable), so when it fell over on there, they'll tune to Freeview and it doesn't work there either.

I still think that's without doubt the worst thing about Freeview. The retunes. I know many people who rely on DTT for their TV, yet haven't rescanned in donkeys meaning loads of the channels don't work. It isn't stupidity that causes it, some television sets refuse to load the MPEG information screens saying 'rescan if you can see this message on 301 etc...'
