@Briantist - that (see Oct 1st) may be your understanding but it is not mine. The G_MAN mux is a under a different type of broadcasting licence than the completely seperate upcoming local muxes. G_MAN is much less restricted in how it is configured- hence in a less robust mode supporting 6 channels whereas the new local muxes are limited to the licenced local service plus 2 more pseudo-national channels maximum. I can't see Canis Media wanting to shut down a useful testbed, however shoestring it might be, unless it is losing them money- and even then they could sell the licence on.

There seems to be a data problem with the two Manchester local muxes here.
C57 is what OFCOM call G_MAN and has been running since the Channel M days - is live now and contains six 24hour channels: movies4men, movies4men+1, Sony SAB, CAPITAL TV, HeartTV & Fire Hit TV.
C56 will have three petals of local TV - the Preston & Liverpool petals are listed correctly. The Manchester one is missing and will have Your TV Manchester on LCN8 and has the potential for two more channels on it.
