Anyone know what time the final switchover happens? Being an anorak I was thinking of watching the analogue switch off but I cant find what time its happening.

Thanks Mark, sounds like I am not the only anorak around here ;-) I will test your predictions out they sound very logical.

Well it looks as though BBC one has just gone over as the film was starting. I wasnt expecting it to go before 1200.

Mark I have set my TV to only have analogue at the moment (disconnected my Digibox) and now there is only C4 and C5 on. BBC1 and ITV have gone. BBC1 went just as the film staretd at about 1145.

Interesting I just lost C5 on Freeview C4 also went. I did a factory reset after the analogue signal was switched off and they were all OK.

Just doing another reset and rescan now.

Thanks Mark, I didnt realise there would be a time when channels were not available. looks as though the mux switching is happening now, I just did a rescan and C4 and C5 are not showing, I think the scan reported 47 channels found and the one I did a few mins after analogue reported 85.

Mark I blame you. ;-)

Interesting happenings with freeview now, last scan only gave 10 channels. I wonder if the Postcode reference info has not been updated yet? on my digibox it give start frequency of K21 474mhz and End of K68 850mh (looks OK to me).

Time for another scan I think.
