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
