When should we expect today's planned Freeview changes on the Midhurst mast to complete?

Currently, an automatic re-tune only gives me 22 TV channels and 16 radio channels. It only picks up CH 35 (with extremely poor signal - strength 37-38%, quality 10-30%) and CH 48 (with usually good quality (strength 72-74%, quality 100%).

Trying a manual re-tune against CH 36 gives me nothing, so I've lost my 6 HD channels 101-105+204. Am I too impatient? Do I need a new aerial?

Chris.SE:

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Timing couldn't be worse as I'm just about to go away for 10 days and had quite a few recordings scheduled. The offending device is a Humax HDR FOX-T2 PVR. Weirdly, my HDHomeRun tuners that run off the same aerial, albeit from a different outlet and with a signal booster, have picked up the changes after a few rescans and I can record off those (eg 101 is represented through tt8qam256:594MHz-17540, which suggest channel 36, ie the new one).

I guess I need to look into a new Group K aerial and/or an extra signal booster when I get back. Thanks for your help.
