Chris.SE:
Thanks for the follow-up, yes the absence of clamour here is a pretty good indicator my problem is very very local indeed! I mainly reference https://en.digitalbitrate…te=2 and DTT & Freeview Updates to make sure I'm up to date with changes, are there further authoritative web resources I should check, so I don't waste anyone's time or attention here?

Thanks for responding, primarily I use tvheadend, which until very lately had been picking up the LCNs (and everything else) correctly. I also did a comprehensive scan with w_scan2 (https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/w_scan2), which also showed "null" LCNs for every service, on both my main TBS tuner card and on a USB tuner from a different vendor. I'd ruled out the tuner software and the device type so am at something of a loss to account for what I'm seeing, and unsure where to go, to connect with experts in this technical domain. Any pointers or insights would be most welcome!

js: Appreciate the pointer, thanks - same result unfortunately now but yes previously this was a necessary step. I can only suppose the problem is lower down the stack as w_scan2 also reports the LCNs as null/zero, and it's the same for both tvheadend/w_scan2 on a different tuner type. No doubt my ignorance is a factor here, happy to take this thread offline if you're willing to pursue it as well?

Potentially not just me then:
No LCN since freeview reshuffle | AVForums
Is there some technical body responsible for the broadcast I could take this up with?

A followup on this - Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy - the LCNs are back after a retune yesterday. FWIW I changed nothing in my setup, guess this one will just remain a mystery!

Since the June 30th clearout/switcharound, I'm seeing only "null" LCNs on all the services I receive on rescanning the Crystal Palace frequencies. Fully ready to accept it might be something awry in my setup - DVB-T/T2 tuner card in a Linux host - any pointers on a technical authority I can check with, to confirm the problem isn't in the broadcast?
