We are tuned to Tacolneston (from Dilham NR28 9PU). Reception is fine with just a few dropouts.
In the last two weeks we have been getting a message on switch-on saying that, on May 9, we will lose stations and must retune.
Obviously, switchover here was last year so are we somehow getting a message from the south east e.g. via ITV+1 which is Meridien or is there another reason?
TIA

Richard Baguley: As far as I know there is only one retune on 9th May and that is for the SDN multiplex (ITV3 etc) from Sandy Heath.
Your TV may have some of Sandy Heath's channels stored, possibly in the 800s.

Thanks, Dave.
You could be right but I did a clean reset in November and Sandy Heath is a fair way away.
Whatever, the message will no doubt disappear after May 9.
