Mark: Have you retuned your box since April? The 'red button' stream, 301, moved from B to Multiplex 1 a couple of months ago.

(I realise it's too late for today's game but that should sort you out for the next round.).

My Humax PVR flashed up a message suggesting I would need to do a retune on 3/8/2011. Has 's been brought forward or is this a mistake?

Thanks KMJ - I am fully aware that and Oliver's Mount go stage 1 on Aug 3rd which is why I was hopefully expecting someone to acknowledge that they goofed triggering that message on Emley Mux 1.

Has anyone seen the messages on Emley's yet, saying that is imminent? I've seen pictures of them for other regions, but not on yet - perhaps I'm not watching analogue channels at the right time.

I have, however, seen MHEG messages flash up on my Freeview TVs giving the switchover start date (usually when tuning into ).
