Better multiplex listing icons plus Storeton Wales and Caldbeck Scotland details

I have made changes to the pages that display the multiplex listing for the transmitters to improve the clarity, and also have recoded the site to allow transmitters with services from more than one region (Storeton and Caldbeck) to display correctly.

published on UK Free TV

The various pages that display the multiplex information for the UK and Ireland digital television transmitters now have a slightly improved format.

First, rather than showing icons for all of the services, the icons are now larger and show just the main television services, as these are what most people are looking for and are the services that occupy the bandwidth.

In addition, the text, adult, shopping and interactive channels are now showing as "plus X others" on the pages - just click the link text to instantly reveal the full details.

Another update, which to be honest required a total rewriting of the code, now allows a transmitter to be in more than one region where this happens. This means that the services for Storeton Wales and Caldbeck Scotland now display the full, correct information.

Just a spot of geography, Brian. Storeton isn't in Wales, it's on the Wirral which is definitely on the English side of the River Dee!

Brian Wood: The use of "Storeton Wales" is so as to distinguish from the Granada services that Storeton transmits. It carries the Wales Region channels towards Wales as well as Granada ones.

I currently have sky RF2 setup on an ATV channel; Can it we setup to use a DTV channel so we don't have to switch between ATV and DTV just to watch sky in other rooms?
