I see the message is coming on our screen to re-tune on 7th February (well, Tacolneston area at least) The only change I can spot, is Com 8 (37) moving to 56, I wonder if this will cure our BBC4HD problems, that are currently on 37 (channel 106) ?

Pre Feb 7th:
31, 37, 39, 42, 45, 50, 55, 57, 59

Post Feb 7th
31, 39, 42, 45, 50, 55, 56, 59

So it appears we are loosing a MUX, and what a surprise, I now have lost BBC News HD, RT HD, 4Seven HD etc.

When you see the channel number changes it makes no sense as we received all channels before (using a wideband aerial) the only changes are 37 & 57 removed & 56 added.
It's not like the changes are out of band to what I was already receiving.

According to digitaluk they claim a horizontal C/D or horizontal W (which we have) for NOW but they state we will need a horizontal B or horizontal T for AFTER.

|Hey StevesOnin1

Thanks for your reply, I can confirm we now have both com7 and com8, they reappeared after a retune this morning around 8am (according to the wife) :)

Still no local mux, but to be honest it was something we never watched anyway, glad to have BBC4 and BBC News back in HD though!

Looks like we should be all set from now on, but there appear to be a few more retunes this year as the UHF numbers get moved around.

Least the wife is happy now lol
