I'm trying to tune 762.0 on TVHeadEnd (a Linux based TV server and recorder)... but there's nothing there. All other frequencies seem to be OK and channels are tuned. Should I be expecting an issue with 762.0 at the moment?
Thanks
Will

Although a different Ch No and freq COM 5 H on Rowridge has been dead until a few days ago and now back on v low power. Guess that's no help to you but might be an indication of work being done to COM 5 generally.

Not sure what you are trying to tune into there William, there's nothing broadcasting on 762MHz. If you are going by the list at the top of the page, I'm afraid it's out of date, the sire owner hasn't had time to do all the 700MHz clearance updates.
Whitehawk Hill's channels are now PSB1/BBCA C48, PSB2/D3&4 C35, PSB3/BBCB C36, COM4/SDN C32, COM5/ARQA C34, COM6/ARQB C33, LOCAL MUX/L-BTN C40.
If you click on each of the aforementioned channels, it'll give you the frequency if they aren't known/obvious to you.
HTH.

Hi there,
Are there any changes expected for the Whitehawk transmitter this year (2020) ?
The list seems to have stopped at October 2019.
Rgds,

There doesn't appear to be any further planned changes in the Meridian region (at this time!!). Whether any "tweaking" will be needed anywhere in the country once the other clearance events have completed on the 29th April remains to be seen :o

PSB1 UHF 48
PSB2 UHF 35
PSB3 UHF 36
COM4 UHF 32
COM5 UHF 34

Hope this helps

Hi I wonder if you can help me, today 14/7/2020 we have lost all TV signal. I have done a Freeeview reset but no joy. I am not techno minded at all, so sorry if I don't understand the tech info. Is there problem with the transmitter? Any help would be very much appreciated as we are shielding and our main connection with the News in the outside World is via our TV. Many thanks.
