Is there a known problem with Pace DT210F not being able to do 2k and 8k at the same time. It does not appear to be listed on your guide as one with a problem.

I have just rescanned all my fathers equipment following the first phase of the Oxford change over and the set with the Pace unit fails to receive Channel 53+, therefore no BBC channels.

Yes I did do a full reset including a power down and a no aerial scan. It does not have a manual scan mode as far as I can see so I cannot force the issue.

As you use the phrase "There were a large number of issues" it suggests that most items should be available or you should see an archive page.

As far as I am concerned most of the pages do not work. The are blank or very incomplete. For example cannot access any transmitter lists. However if I use the saved book mark for Oxford, my local transmitter, I get a page for the Oxford Transmitter. However the map never loads - did earlier today- and the page states that the transmitter now no longer transmits television!!. The detailled text associated with that headline has a typo.

Thats viewed on firefox on windows 8.on an Android Tablet using the default browser, results much the same, however for some reason the highlight areas activated by the touch screen are inaccurate and cover several menue items and hence do not accurately select.

Those routes do not seem to all exist from the front page drop down menus. They work of course from your posting.

[TV] has no menus that resemble the above links. [Freeview] however has menu items transmitters, which does work after a fashion several big gaps in the page. It also has Transmitter de(tails?) which is a blank page. Also [Freeview] menu item find a transmitter which presents channel lists but the links do not provide a list of transmitters.

Oxford now appears to work ok, though of course the channels need updating to reflect the recent changes, though I assume that applies to all the transmitters as all your time will have been spent on the rewrite. Anyway thanks for the service you provide.

Thanks, maybe some of the pages ended up cashed somewhere as now working, but were not when I last posted.

I spotted I thought two channels missing, but have forgotten what the second one was.

The first one I spotted was 126 Pop+1 on I think COM5

Oxford (Oxfordshire, England) Full Freeview transmitter

That's Oxford is now transmitting a comming soon type caption. I have not checked which channel it is on, but LOX was on channel 29 the last time I checked not 51 as projected. Reception of the caption is ok at SN3 which is presumably of course is well outside its editorial area. The rest of the stations on the MUX are of course also receivable here.

ITV programme guide has from 6.00 am today been displaying instead of the programme details "this channel is moving". I assume this is an error considering the status of ITV, so is one of the ITV group moving?

Jon Dennington: l have TVonics PVR, I had to do a manual tune. Remember the LOX multiplex is on channel 29, not 51 as stated on this web site. Despite low signal level it works ok here in Swindon.

I note the EPG is now showing BT Showcase at 75 Comm 7 C31, is this going to be free as "teaser" for their paid for services?

MikeP: I just updated my Firefox to 37.0.1and the navigation remains very poor to impossible compared with the original version of this site. Even the box to write comments in is not correctly displayed, with the lefthand edge of the box being ommited.

Is the site still maintained? or is it just on automatic? I ask the question as yesterdays channel changes are not reflected in the data presented, and as far as my Transmitter is concerned (Oxford) changes that occurred last year have still to be updated.
