Viv Grainger: This website doesn't have any channels and has nothing to do with running any channel or transmitter. If you mean when will more channels be added to the transmitter, then there are no plans to add any further channels to any lite transmitters such as Barton House. If you provide a full postcode we can access the coverage checker and see whether any other transmitters are available at your location.

There seems to be incorrect information on the mux frequencies listed for the Saddleworth transmitter and also some of the channel allocations (I think).

I was missing some channels on my Pi/Tvheadend setup and used the frequencies found on a tuned Samsung TV to get the correct values.

These were the details I needed:

[C39+ D3&4] = 618Mhz
*[C51- SDN] = 570Mhz
*[C52+ ARQ A] = 594Mhz
[C48 ARQ B] = 690Mhz

The two muxes I was missing are starred.

Cheers
Jamie

Paul Denning:

Have your signals returned? I can't find any reports of outages either by the BBC or Freeview and the transmitter isn't currently listed for Planned Engineering.
