ITV +1
Friday 1 July 2022 9:56AM

Jim: ITV +1 is broadcast on the PSB2 multiplex along with ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5, so if you can receive those then you should also be receiving ITV +1 on Freeview channel 35. Do you get anything on LCN 35? Have you checked whether ITV +1 is in the 800 range, where channels get put if the TV or box doesn't know what to do with them?

John H: Forces TV was operated by the military charity BFBS, the decision to close the channel had nothing to do with the BBC.

Mark Holmes: Unfortunately the site owner has been unable to keep up with the many changes that took place during the 700MHz clearance.

Patrick: COM7 closed completely on 30th June. The owner of this website has been unable to keep up with all the changes which have taken place across hundreds of transmitters over the last few years as part of the 700MHz clearance.

Peter: ME3 covers a wide area. We need a full postcode (or one from a nearby school/pub/garage/etc) to be able to see your predicted coverage.

Ohilip: The Leeds local mux is broadcast on UHF channel 39 from Emley Moor at 5kW, in a directional pattern aimed towards Leeds and the surrounding areas. Halifax gets some overspill coverage but isn't really in the target coverage area.

Annie Bevis: The site owner hasn't been able to keep up with all of the changes taking place, although to be fair most of those you mentioned have only happened a couple of weeks ago.

Smithsonian Channel HD | free and easy
Tuesday 12 July 2022 2:11PM

Janet Harrison : Smithsonian are a commercial broadcaster who don't receive anything from the TV Licence and are only required to comply with a minimum set of requirements. Try contacting them to ask why they don't provide subtitles and if/when they plan to introduce them. If you get a reply please post it here for others to see.

Ken Reaveley: BBC Four HD and BBC News HD were both carried on the COM7 multiplex which closed on 30th June. If you retune you should find a placeholder for BBC Four HD on the PSB3 multiplex on 106, where it will be available from every transmitter in future (this has been delayed with no date announced yet). BBC News HD is no longer available on Freeview but continues on satellite, cable and iPlayer.

Ken Reaveley: There is already sufficient spare capacity for BBC Four HD/CBeebies HD, an average of over 5Mbps is available on PSB3 (see graphs at the link below). It has been suggested elsewhere that the delay may be down to availability of coding and muxing (or other equipment equipment) not being ready in time due to supply chain issues which are currently plaguing many industries.
