MikeP, my aerial is wideband, although looking at
'How will the Rowridge (Isle Of Wight, England) transmission frequencies change over time?'
from 31/3/18 only channels 21-28 are used anyway, so I don't understand why wideband would be required.
Which multiplex should BBC Four HD be on after 31/3/18?

Thanks StevensOnln1, the information that BBC Four HD moved to channel 56 is missing from the top of this page, maybe that could be updated by who-ever.
Having searched channel 56 I now have BBC Four HD again.

I found that an automatic tune of some of my boxes did not find BBC Four HD on ch56 and I also noticed that for a manual tune on 2 of my boxes I had to explicitly select DVB-T2 (rather than the default of DVB-T) to find BBC Four HD etc.
I wonder if others have a simliar option / problem?

@Gary Calder, it was my Humax Fox T2 which I had to manually tune to channel 56 with DVB-T2 to get BBC Four HD - no idea why the auto tune didn't pick it up, but it didn't, it went through the channels twice.
@Jonathan Barham - 88 for two new aerials? I spent around 12 (although I see it's no longer discounted so is now 17 for a Labgear TV Aerial High Gain 48-Element from screwfix. I'm supposedly in a 'good' signal area - although that's up for debate if you ask me.
Having said which I'm still annoyed that a BBC HD channel was moved to a non band A channel - as has been said before, why not move 'the trash' which few watch to the high channels. BBC, ITV, C4 and C5 should be left alone. Also Dave, More4 and Quest but I'm prepared to accept others regard those as trash.

It looks like we'll all need to retune again on 2nd May, well, unless you don't need
BBC News HD, 4+1HD, 4-7 HD plus another 16 stations which I don't watch.

Do I understand the above correctly? From 31st Mar '18 (which I'm guessing was in reality last week) Rowridge will no longer be broadcasting the LSO, com7 and com8 multiplexes? So no BB4 HD, BBC News HD or 4-7 HD (I don't care about the rest of them).
Certainly since I retuned last week I can't get the above. (SO30 postcode).
