All SC/Lichfield channels went shortly after midnight ( as expected ) except BBC1 analogue and MuxA. Ah, I thought, maybe they're being sensitive and waiting till the end of the film. No such luck, the others went at 01.00, so no. This rather typifies the whole DSO process.
The digitalUK site says NO transmitter work in this region this week. Hah
Let's hope things settle down for a while now. Months of re-tuning, aerial shifting and digital breakup have been a right pain.
PS I'm missing CeeFax already!

Good signals from SC now, but getting duplicate MUXA(8k) on UHF ch62. Ae points north. Any idea where this is coming from?

Andy - thanks for the info. Ch62 from Winter Hill looks likely. Not a problem except on an old Philips DTR100 where it caused the number of channels to exceed its 90 store limit. Manually tuning only the SC channels solves the problem. cheers

Re SUTTON PSB2, COM5 & 4. Just come back from a week away and found these channels have problems. One receiver has jerky video and no sound, one has 'No Service' message, one (which updates on power up) seems OK. Not checked others yet.
The receiver with jerky video came good after a rescan but Davejavu still affected ( presumably have to rescan again when it's carrying program).
I don't recall seeing any warnings about changes, nor can I find any info about what changed and why. These changes are a pain. It's not as simple as just 'Rescan your receiver'. Duff channels have to be edited out, Favourites rebuilt and on a couple of RXs the channel numbering has to be rebuilt as well to get the LCNs in the right place. Can anyone point me to link that says what changed? Also, a recent transmitter service history list would be useful. thanks
