Just found while scanning that 11225V was causing an error.
Turns out this transponder is now configured as DVB-S2.

Mark A: The situation on DTT is quite different to that on Satellite.
No one is going to put SD channels on S2 transponders until BSkyB replace their SD boxes.
Freesat SD boxes are still being sold, seem really popular, and at 85 squid, damned expensive.
On DTT, there is an active campaign to get people to buy Freeview HD capable equipment, hence COM7 and COM8.
As far as SD on T2, I doubt Film4+1 is much of an inducement, but some of these on COM7 could be:
050 mov4men+1
057 VIVA
063 Community
071 Motors TV
077 Rishtey Europe
081 TalkingPictures TV
134 Al Jazeera Arabic
As far as capacity for another HD channel on COM7, the seven SD channels account for more than that.
Have just measured the T2 bit-rates, and null packets amounted to 60% of the total on BBC B, though at this time in the morning, some video streams are showing almost static pictures.

Dave PHillips: VIVA moved to COM7, a DVB-T2 multiplex, late July.
Your 'most likely transmitter', according to the digitaluk coverage checker, is Mendip.
The coverage checker also predicts a good signal at your location for COM7.
You will need a Freeview HD certified device to receive COM7.
COM7 from Mendip is on UHF channel 33 and carries these services:
050 mov4men+1
057 VIVA
063 Community
071 Motors TV
077 Rishtey Europe
081 TalkingPictures TV
