As the "com7" multiplex is alive on the Crystal Palace transmitter, viewers in London now see this exciting screen if they choose 74, 106 or 107.
The same multiplex is also broadcasting Al Jazeera in high defintion in HD.
Another "new" feature is Freeview is now showing a short region code on standard definition BBC ONE
And, congratulations to The York Channel and Made in Teesside, who have won their local TV licences.
Help with Television sets?

that's good news Brian. Its just a pity that the sound on the HD is lowered on some TV's like the Panasonic so you have to keep on turning the sound up and down as you switch between the HD and SD channels

NICK ADSL UK: My Samsung has an option in the menus to adjust the sound for the SD or HD codecs, I equalised them so that problem goes away.

hi Michael
.with regret the top of the range Panasonic's don't have that option. i use a good sound bar but that to has no menu for equalisation of sound
on a plus point my SD picture is virtually as good as my HD picture so i normally watch SD broadcasts only
Next time i purchase a tv i will need to pay more attention to these types of points that can crop up

Nick ASDL UK: Actually, Panasonic's tend to have more audio options than Samsung's - try 'Audio Correction' - see this thread - Sound levels on the Freeview HD mux. - Technical - Digital Spy Forums - it may help.
The equalisation for audio will be in the TV setup, using the particular input/output, generally not the soundbar. Use HDMI, then digital optical, then 3.5mm - in that order with your soundbar.

Strangely, the Humax STBs have the opposite problem. Sound is much louder on the HD channels.
No sign of anything on channel 33 from Divis, despite a retune being scheduled for next Tuesday.

Thanks Brian, but how and where is the code and how do we decode it?
