Freeview modes
Two of the Freeview multiplexes (collections of channels) broadcast in one mode known as "64QAM mode, FEC=2/3,", and the other three broadcast in another mode called "64QAM mode, FEC=3/4".
The " FEC=2/3" mode provide a more reliable signal than a "FEC=3/4" mode signal at the same power level, but there is a trade-off that means less digital data can be carried.
This diagram shows the current channels carried on the Freeview system. The wider the box, the more bandwidth is used to carry the pictures. The more bandwidth used for a service, the better the picture quality.
Boxes split horizontally denote channels that occupy the bandwidth at different times of the day.
The third line shows the configuration of the BBC "B" multiplex switchover which is used for HD and is in another mode DVB-T2 256QAM.
64 QAM (3/4) mode
In this mode, the digital TV signal is transmitted in groups of 64 symbols. The "forward error correction" is 2/3, and this results in a bitrate of 24M.1b/s (megabits per second). This can be used to carry up to eight simultaneous television channels.64 QAM (2/3) mode
In this mode, the digital TV signal is transmitted in groups of 16 symbols. The "forward error correction" is 3/4, and this results in a bitrate of 27.1Mb/s. This can be used to carry ten simultaneous television channels.3:05 PM
I have freeview built into my downstairs television (with sky, Wii etc) and the upstairs television. In the last week both have lost pretty much everything except BBC. What should I do?

Hi,
I have two separate freeview boxes same make etc
when I rescanned one as a first installation I lost several channnels
both use the same ariel, ITV and full channels show on the origianl but not the rescanned one
manual rescanning brought back several of these channels
however, I cannot find a current list that informs me what TV channels are transmitted on what scanning channels on the crystal palace transmitter
I suspect that if I find the correct scanning channel ITV will come back
Any Ideas
Thanks
