The slashless CRIDs went national - maybe now they'll fix it!

Steve Donaldson: I read your earlier comment and it alerted me to re-check what had occurred on Wednesday.
There were quite a number of relocations and I hadn't noticed GREAT! tv +1 was one of them.
I looked at the thread you linked to and noticed some are accusing BBC channels as being the cause.
I have no doubt that the slashless CRIDs off GREAT! tv +1 are the cause.
Interestingly, the above-mentioned fault on D3&4 means that, unlike BBCA, there is no EIT for GREAT! tv +1 off that multiplex, so it would be safe for those users with susceptible devices.
Ironically, the EIT schedule for GREAT! tv +1 bears little, if any, relation to what is broadcast.

Chris.SE: Quite right, I forgot about the locals in my last comment, of which I can receive none!
All three used to be on the same frequency - C56 - as "petals" in the polar diagram.
Why was that arrangement not maintained?
What is Preston doing at C40? It makes no sense to me.

Brian Butterworth: Well, thank you, kind sir. I see you took the garbage out, too.
I think, maybe, "feedback" has gone missing, where I seem to remember, there was a useful post stating that urls with embedded postcodes like this were possible:

I could be dreaming.
