Now I can receive Freeview HD which seems to be capable of providing excellent visual quality; it seems BBC SD channels invite you to "view in HD" for material actually made in HD - whereas the other broadcasters appear to label as HD such "real HD" and also stuff originally SD then upscaled less well than my TV does.
Or is this my imagination??

Transmitter Engineering at Hannington should be congratulated for managing all the hard work involved in the switchover with no problems apparent here - it cannot have been easy when in the real world, despite every careful plan; something awkward usually crops up.

Oddly, all my computer-based tuners are picking up the channel "Big Deal" on both 658MHz and 682MHz (ArqA and ArqB). It's shown as an ArqB channel in your lists above, but not ArqA. (I'm using both Windows Media Center and Hauppauge WinTV 7 on each of three different computers and all do the same.) I'm only receiving pictures on ArqB, but the EPG for the one on ArqA says "Programmes start at 3.00am", so I wouldn't expect to see a signal until then.
This is just a nuscience and not really a problem for me. I'm just reporting it in case it helps anyone.
I'm in Lambourn but picking up direct from Hannington, and not the Lambourn repeater.

Alan Cocker: According to DTG :: DTT Services by Multiplex - "Big Deal" should only be on Arq A. I too had the duplicate on all of my receivers, but I deleted them both.

ukfree.tv shows the SDN and the D3+4 Mux'es as using an offset frequency (+0.167MHz), but Ofcom's "Digital Switchover Transmitter Details" document for the Meridian region (http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/guidance/tech-guidance/Meridian.pdf) shows the BBCB Mux as being on an offset frequency. I'm using software where I have to manually enter the frequencies, and I would obviously like to get it right.
Can anyone help me out with regards to who/what is correct?

Strange one really as weeks ago all channels
were Working ok on then they went so only BBC was available . looking at page 25000 watts i would have thought would be fine for a weak reception unless the quoted Figure is not exactly correct. not heard of anyone in our area able to recieve these Muxes.

Rickenbacker: The Ofcom document shows the correct information. The explanation for the different information on this site lies with a change to the original plan with regard to the frequencies to be included in the digital dividend. C39 and C40 were originally part of the spectrum to be auctioned off, BBCB was only planned to use C39 temporarily. Once it was decided to keep C39/C40 for the use of existing services the offsets were no longer required on C41/C42, however C39 now received an offset to distance the signal slightly from other possible users of the digital dividend frequency C38.

Why can I not get the BBC HD channels on a digital HD ready TV today yet I can get these channels now on another older HD TV which has a Freeview Digital Box attached which I have retuned today?
I have tried retuning the HD ready TV on C39 618Mhz for the HD channels but none were found.

Bob Fidler; Simply because TV's of the "HD Ready" variety are not fitted with tuners capable of responding to an HD signal, types that are being DVB-T2 capable whereas those that aren't are only DVB-T, "no signal" usually being seen if any attempt is made to manually tune in an HD multiplex.
If anyone has any doubts about whether their TV can (or cannot) receive HD transmissions if the look at the back of their instruction manual / specifications / tuner, its nearly always shown there.
In other words "HD Ready" indicates that the TV is capable of showing an HD image but only from an externally connected source, HD Ready being something that has misled numerous people by in my opinion UK trading standards not insisting that HD Ready stickers should be displayed as "HD Ready" - (from external source)
