At around midnight, multiplex B (BBC Four, CBeebies, BBC Parliament, 303, BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 4 Extra, BBC Asian Network, and BBC World Service) moves from C58 moves to C66, and Multiplex C (PICK TV, Dave, Really, E4+1, Big Deal, Create and Craft, Price Drop TV, Gems TV 1, PICK TV +1, Daystar TV, Food Network and Sky News) from C61 to C68.



From 6am Wednesday 17 August 2011, you must to a perform a "first time installation" retune (sometimes "Factory Reset" or "Shipping Condition") on your Freeview box or television set

This is NOT the digital switchover for Tacolneston - that starts on Wednesday 9th November 2011 and completes on Wednesday 23rd November 2011.

These changes are required to protect the BBC multiplexes on the Waltham transmitter.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi... I followed the factory restore message on my screen last night. Previously Freeview had worked perfectly... Now all of my Freeview channels are blocky, scrambled, or just a blue screen. I've re-tuned via factory restare again, but still the same problem. My analogue channels are now better than the digital channels! What's happened..? My post code is NR3 4AB. I have sky in my living room which is fine... the problem is with Freeview in my bedroom. About a month ago, I have something fitted to my roof aerial, which runs off the mains in my dining room, which feeds the signal into my dining room and bedrooms. Done by a very reputable company. And has worked very well up until the re-tune last night. Please help!!!

emma: I think the "problems" are all related to the overnight switch of channels yesterday, I don't think there are any ongoing problems with transmission now.
