Dave, it is an Acoustic Solutions and I have bought a new remote but it doesn't want to recognise it. Perhaps it is best to just wait until tomorrow - will it be OK then? And I think the transmitter is either Whitehawk, or possibly Patcham.

Oh how strange, I get this when I have not used my DVD reocrder's remote for a week or so... if you just 'roll' the batteries while in the remote with your thumb the remote will work again I notice
you will have to wait until 2 weeks today 21st March for the 2nd stage of digiatl switchover though
Re lost of BBC 1 and 2 Did you do a re-scan ?

Dave: All you are really doing by rolling the batteries around in the holder is simply cleaning the contacts between them and their spring retainers in the casing, either of being slightly oxidised and requiring a light rub with some fine grade (1000+) carborundum paper.

Dave: My only reason for mentioning it was because the wording of your statement suggested an element of being puzzled about why it happens, as otherwise why bring the subject up as its something that I am sure is known by many.

Jay -
The reason for the duplicate channels (principally BBC4, BBC Parliament, Cbeebies, and some BBC radio channels) is that the new, improved BBC A MPX which has now started on Ch 60 is now carying these as well as BBC1, BBC2, etc., whereas its prececessor, the lower capacity Multiplex 1, didn't. However, all these services are also still on Multiplex B, which doesn't change until the 21st, so when your RX scans the band it'll find each of these programmes twice! It took me a while to figure this out yesterday, since my first thought was that I was getting a signal from Patcham - it's only about a mile away with a line-of-sight path, although my aerial is firmly pointing at Whitehawk, and I can get a weak analogue signal from it. Anyway, the problem with finding the programmes twice should disappear on the 21st when all the multiplexes switch to their final configuration - in the meantime, it shoudn't matter which of the two versions you use.
