Just had notification to retune for channel 70 Horror and is now on 792 among radio stations but no mention of this on Freeview web site. Any ideas why?
This is on Bilsdale transmitter

Alan Betteney: Have you retuned as yet? as the horror channel was initially broadcast on Bilsdales COM6 / Mux C40, but has now moved to COM4 / MuxC43 as used by ITV3 (10) / Vintage TV (242) and a host of others, LCN 792 now being an invalid channel.
The fact of the on-screen message is the up to date info.

jb38: Many thanks. Horror is still on Ch 70. When I did retune, Horror programme was showing on Ch 792 and I thought that it had moved, but now Ch792 shows the retune message.
It is all very confusing for an old man.

Alan Betteney: I feel that my statement of "moved" has possibly misled you, for which I apologise for not making it clearer, as I was really referring to the multiplex transmitter that the programme was previously broadcast on (COM6) having changed to COM4 /Mux C43, and not the programme guide number (EPG) that the programme is viewed on.
