For free non subscription stuff, I think it's more the other way around. I think you'll see less and less DCII stuff and more and more fta DVB stuff. As the analog stuff goes digital, it seems that most is either going DVB or going into some internet protocol. Since there are more and more people with little KU dishes, I'm guessing that it will be more likely to find things FTA on C band than Ku, because C-band almost doesn't need encryption anymore with so few big dishes to worry about, but that's just a guess. Of course the subscription stuff is likely headed mainly to the DTV/Dishet side.
