Just a quick question regarding the channel moves, have noticed that the news channels and children's channels are still operating on there original numbers, even after October 17th deadline, will they continue to do so, had a message come up on screen to say some channel numbers have changed.

Hi
Just to let you know i sorted my Sudbury Ch 60 picture issues...
After reading this and other blogs i realised that my skybox was the problem..When i isolated it Freeview Ch60 worked fine...I then realised the ATV signal to my freeview TV came in on Ch 61...Too close for comfort that one so using the installer page i changed the RF output channel to 69...This instantly made the CH60 DTV signal perfect and the only other thing i needed to do was retune my TV to ATV Ch 69..

I can't get RT in suffolk, this site says i should have it but when I do the postcode checker on the freeview site it doesn't come up. I can't get sky news either (not that I want that right wing Murdoch bllx).

joe: Your reception possibilities cannot be checked on without a post code (or one from nearby) being given, but if using the Sudbury transmitter then RT(85) is on mux Ch56, Sky news(82) being on mux Ch60, and so you should manually tune in each of these two muxes.
By the way ITV4(24)is on the same mux as RT, and if by any chance you are receiving it but not RT then carry out a complete reset on whatever you are using to scrub everything already stored, then follow this by carrying out a normal auto-tune.

I see Sudbury has the fourth engineering works since they supposedly upgraded the service in July. Please does anyone know if so much engineering work is usual, ie, does it denote a problem?

Definitely a problem. All my agro (see 16 Oct post) went away after the last retune but returned at the start of the week. Bloody digital - bring back analogue. I would only miss BBC3/4 and Film 4 they can keep the rest.

I am sort of pleased to hear that, Tony.
Anyone else with problems, esp from the mux on ch 60, would like to hear about.

Late Friday afternoon (9 November, 2012) ITV ANGLIA (coming in on UHF Channel 41) started to violently break up with sound drop out as well. Until then, this has always been stable, with a constant quality level of 97% . Eventually it settled down---engineering work ?? Channel 58 has never been reliable, comes and goes, one minute 97% and then zero. Channel 60 is a dead loss altogether but apart from the Channel 41 point made, other channels ( 44, 47 HD and 56 )are all at 97% quality CLACTON AREA
