D Bond: No is the short answer. When the COM mus owners were asked if they wished to add the services to any additional sites after DSO they declined on the grounds that the small percentage of extra viewers served would not justify the extra cost of extending the service. It is worth noting that right from the start of Freeview it was not intended to ever add the service to Stanton Moor, for example, if additional frequencies had become available.

All:
There is a major retune event on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air overnight and the multiplexes PSBs1-3 move to new UHF channels. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours and may not be back on air until late morning or early afternoon.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; C33, C36, C48;
People will need to retune and a Group B aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of all multiplexes.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).

Apologies for a typo with aerial group in previous post - a Group K aerial may be required, not Group B.
