I've only just seen the other recent posts about the low power channels from Hannington so I apologise for having duplicated information about them.
We now wait in anticipation for 18th April.

The MUX power increase on 4th April came through perfectly, eventually by the afternoon.
Despite what the Hannington Freeview list shows the MUX that changed on 4th April was ARQA on channel 44 NOT SDN on channel 41!
It had to be ch44 as that was the channel that was the first of the three to be freed-up from the Guildford transmitter (MUX2 ...going to ch49; this will then change to D3+4 and go to ch46 on 18th April)
Channels 41 and 47 are still awaiting their power increase on 18th April from Hannington.

This can all be seen on the GUILDFORD Freeview page.
Just to be clear:
Ch41 is used for MUXA (SDN)and will go to Ch48;
Ch47 is used for MUXC (ARQA) and will go to ch52; both on 18th April.

At 06-30am All the MUXs were now perfectly received with all six at Quality 10 and strength of 9-10.
Now I have to make decisions on what to watch; I'm really spoiled for choice!
Now, with my PURE digital radio I've jumped up-to-date into the 21st century... but probably for only a few years until the next technology comes on-stream!
(By the way, I've posted this via my dial-up modem, so I'm not fully up there yet!)
