I don't know if COM8 is also on air as I have a YouView box here and it doesn't tell you things like that.

Mike Dimmick: Thanks for the reminder about the roll out schedule.

Charles Stuart: In the "testing phase" the multiplex operator doesn't have to fill the transmissions with anything that the public can see.
A transmission of "random bits" is sufficient to see if the transmission is being sent out correctly, as would be a "valid multiplex" with audio and video but not EPG data.
The signal is co-located on the mast with the existing services and broadcast with a radiation pattern to target the specific locale.
I seems unlikely that people would need to change their aerial: the whole idea of this local TV service is that "people will just find it on their EPG".

Ian from notts: you need a sky viewing card, buy it doesn't need to be one with a subscription. A free to view card is OK. You need a sky box too if course!

It's a loop at the moment, not the actual channel.
