Switchover starts in the Oxford area | Switchovers

Stuart O.: ITV still broadcast adverts in smaller regions than they provide news for, and therefore these regions still persist.

I think I left Thames Valley as it was because it wasn't clear for a while if the region would switch together or in two halves. It was the latter.

I have also merged Tyne-Tees back together, and removed the YTV South region that never really existed.

Dean: In that case you can get yourself a nice Freeview HD set, the picture quality is rather nice and there should be a fifth HD channel by Christmas.

Jon Abbott: As your most likely other transmitter is Mendip, the answer is probably "no", because as Oxford changes there are changes at Mendip at the same time.

To be honest, if you have "lost channels" yesterday you probably have equipment problems or Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Keith Seddon: Yes, you must. The Freeview box will think that the BBC channels are on two frequencies and put all the "new" ones in the 800s. If you want BBC One at position 1, do a "first time install".

Mike Dimmick: "Before this, the BBC only had 'North'" which is why there are three BBC regional news programmes called "Look North": One from Leeds (Yorkshire), one from Newcastle (North East and Cumbria), and one from Hull (Yorks and Lincs) and "North West Tonight" was originally called "Look North" and "Look North West".
