Well if it completed reception is terrible, just had a couple of holidays up there worst reception in the whole country.
I was dreading Bilsdale going degital as I thought it would cause caos in Leeds etc which use Emley Moor just like Belmont causes to other parts of Yorkshire.

I have made enquies and it is not the MAJOR clean up of the silly numbers Freeview have now.
It is only minor changes like Robert Hill posted, all are stations I do not watch and therfore not noticed these few changes.
This is what I official found out as happened.
"Dave (from 19 to 12)
o Really (from 20 to 17)
o Yesterday (from 12 to 19)
o Gold (from 17 to 20) TopUp TV service
o Food Network (from 49 to 48)
o Jewellery Channel (from 60 to 49)
Text and streamed channels genres allocated LCNs 200 to 299 "
So we stii got 1 etc.and not 101 etc. like other plateforms and ITV stations all over the place etc.

Brianist I seem to recall Sky News wanted out of Freeview as that changed?
(Sky News is not on Freesat.)
Will ITV group channels, along with CH4 and CH5 groups be got together?
The whole numbering system on Freeview is a mess at the moment I had hoped they were going to do a good clean up.

Malcolm I think the old saying "Too many cooks....."
In TV today just so many organisation running the broadcasting systems, I used to think it was Ofcon that were in charge now we have DMOL etc. etc. etc.
Result a complete mess, I do hope other countries better than this one.

I had retuned my TV yesterday and got the changes, this morning I got the message to retune.
Anyone know what changed overnight?
I'm really sick of this Freeview company.

"It is VERY IMPORTANT to note, however, that you MUST have Freeview HD (DVB-T2) equipment to receive RTE1, RTE2 and TG4 - even though the services are NOT provided in high definition from the Northern Ireland transmitters."
Good advice for all of the UK to future proof your TV if buying a new one, I would think we will go over to this system somewhere in the future. Looks as if most TV sets in UK not have these features, are old technowlegy sets being dumped here I wonder, a lot of low price sets about.

Stuart will only be if they got the right sort of TV, EG. DVB-T2. Not many in shops even though the shop might say they are full HD. I think if they say on box "Freeview HD" they will be DVB-T2 the words full HD not enough.

Channel 3 and 5 should be the HD versions and not the SD ones from this change.
Of course no common sense will be used by the powers that be.
