I've not seen a clear explanation of what will disappear off Freeview, 
but the reports and the press releases suggest that the shutdown will be 
complete. Suggestions are that Freesat will be gone by 2030.

It will be replaced by the IP based Freely, which currently seems to 
carry everything I can get on Freeview. Some TVs made now have it on 
board as a native android app. It is currently only available for TVs 
and some boxes (Sound familiar?), not yet for other Android devices.

Tciao for Now!
