Malcolm Lee: DMOL have told me that it should happen before DSO completes on Wednesday 24th October 2012. The date is pending two channels disputing their change of number, Sky News plus one other.

bernard hunt: According to report, Sky are unhappy that the new channel will require three digits, rather than two to enter directly.
IMHO this is a bit rich, given that Sky News (and indeed all TV channels) is three digits on Sky - 501 - and Sky still have not put their news channel on Freesat (or indeed Challenge and PICK TV which are transmitted free-to-air on satellite).
DMOL point out that if you use CH+ and CH- the order of the channels remains the same with the new numbering scheme.

Charles Pottins: if you do a "first time" install (sometimes called factory settings) you will find everything where it is supposed to be.

Dave Lindsay: the "upgrade" symbol means you can add a Freeview box to the TV set.

Maurice: The answer is rather straight-forward.
The main BBC radio stations are carried together on a digital multiplex which broadcasts on the same frequency in the whole of the UK. For this reason, the services on this multiplex are the same everywhere.
In England, the local radio services are carried on the "commercial" local radio multiplexes, which cover smaller areas - usually counties.
However, in Wales and Scotland and Northern Ireland, the BBC services for these areas still have to be carried on the local radio multiplexes, even though they are not as local as the commercial areas.
There is no "all of Wales" or "all of Scotland" DAB multiplex. So to get BBC Radio Scotland, you need to get a "commercial" local radio multiplex.

Stuart Owens: The 3.4% was a typo, correct is 5.4%, as shown now. Apologies for the error, thanks for pointing it out.
I should have written some code for the pie charts ... they have all been annoying to do.

Mark A.: yes, the 1.5% are cratered to by satellite. they are beyond the economic reach of DVB-T2

Stuart Owens: Also to clarify, DMOL have told me that there will be another change to the guide to implement the rest of the changes (such as the HD channels moving to 101-105) before the switchover in Northern Ireland.
Two channels have "disputed" the changes to the numbering scheme as the DMOL "conflict resolution" procedures are being followed.
