My Sky Arts channel is still on Channel 11 with Pick now Sky Mix still on Channel 36. I am served by the Rowridge transmitter so why no change?

Nicholas Anderson: Your receiver has processed the change in channel name but not the new LCN. Retune and they should switch around.

If Sky Arts has switched the channels but I am still receiving them as I was previously there is no point in wasting time doing a retune on my three TV sets so therefore what is the point in Sky doing this?

Nicholas Anderson: Sky want to promote their newly rebranded Sky Mix channel by putting in on the lower number. They did the same when Sky Arts was added to Freeview, it took what was previously Pick's channel number.

Nicholas Anderson:
Some sets will do channel name swaps just by selecting any channels on the same multiplex which often works ok when the channels are on the same multiplex. When more than one multiplex is involved it can depend on which multiplex you happen to be using first. If a new LCN is still occupied in memory by one that will be moving elsewhere, the one that should go in that LCN can end up in the 800s.
Other sets of course do nothing, some give a pop-up message.
Sometimes you can sort things out using a Channel Manager if available, on some sets a retune is the only solution.
In this case, as both channels are on the same multiplex, you could try a manual retune of the UHF channel at your transmitter for this particular multiplex ArqA/COM5 if you so choose.
It can be very set dependant on how successful all the above things are.

I will do a full retune when more than 2 channels are involved but there is no point if you can still receive all but 2 on the same channel numbers without a rescan.
