A Lloyd: COM7 and COM8 will not be added to any additional transmitters. According to UK, some transmitters are due to have COM7 and COM8 removed later this year when other multiplexes change .

Where can I find a list showing which serves each program (ie, LCN, not mux channel) for the ?

I'd like this to help a !"garbage data" problem in some despite being 100%.

Looking forward to your reply.

GeordieLad:

Look at the top of this page! The LCNs used do not generally change between transmitters. Whatever is on LCN 1 at is also on LCN 1 at Chrystal Palace, , , , etc. It is only the () that changes between transmitters.

I also suggest that you check the strength as too much causes similar problems. Yopu ideal want between 60% and 85% strength, higher or lower often give problems of b= break up or sound loss, or both and often intermittently.

Thank you MikeP and Paul for your swift responses.

MikeP: You've rather missed the point or are attempting to teach "granny to suck eggs". I'm well aware of the LCNs being common to all Txs and areas. What I was trying to avoid in my enquiry was any possible confusion which might be read into ""; hence my specific distinction between LCNs and mux channels.

That said, my problem is with an HD set top box which shows "garbage characters" for EPG or Info on some LCNs in the same mux, despite adjusting level with an attenuator whilst maintaining a high (usually 100%) signal . I suspect the problem lies in whose tuner appears to be exceptionally sensitive (useful) but the signal processing may have limited dynamic range (not at all useful). Being able to identify which Mux is involved may assist me in my further investigations

However, I'm still open to suggestions.

Paul: Bravo! You hit the nail on the head. The link you offered is EXACTLY what I needed. Many thanks.

GeordieLad:

I didn't miss the point as ALL transmiters provide the available programmes on the same LCN no matter where they are broadcast from. So the list I suggested is exactly the same as that suggested by Paul - the pnly difference being that Paul's suggestion was headed . But as they are all the same it made no difference at all.

I agree that talkin g about '' gives rise to an ambiguity, hence we regular contributors try to refer to the multiplexes bei g on a specific , meaning the , and to the programmes as being on a certain Logic Channel Number (LCN). That has been the habit here for at least the last ten years that I have offered advice here. Other contributors largely do the same so we are at least consistent.

As to you problem, have you checked the reported strengths, especially for those that are giving problems?

Allan McDonald: Probably because you're using a Lite which only covers a relatively small numbe of homes, so the commercial broadcasters aren't prepared to pay for their to be added as they won't enough extra viewers to be worth the cost. If you want more channels look at getting .
