All:
There is a retune event on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air overnight and the multiplex PSB3 is slightly changing frequency. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours and may not be back on air until late morning or early afternoon.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; C24, C27, C21;
People will need to retune and a Group A aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of the multiplexes.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).
