Some of the first places to switchover will have to perform a retune this week as the transmitters using C61 and C62 are changed to make way for 4th generation mobile broadband next year. If you are in the English/Scottish Borders, you will probably use the Caldbeck transmitter or a relay.

Mike Potter: ITV signals back. However very weak and result in frozen image which is unviewable.

Has the work now finished or is this a work in progress with the to resume normal viewing soon.

This is a disaster.

Just updated with a factory reset and I now have all ITV but no BBC.

What is going on? UK can tell me nothing.
