Chris.SE: I see... I wonder where the 48 came from? I've taken it out of the list of 700 changes.

Hi Brian, looking much better. The "over time" table needs a few additions/changes for when COMs 7&8 came along and moved.
AFAIK this is accurate Freeview Detailed Coverage Checker | Freeview

Hello ]
Tonight I selected programme no. 12, Quest, on frequency channel 25 and it said retune your TV.
I did a manual tune on freq ch 25 and have now lost the programme no.12 and all reference to Quest has gone. Is this programme still available?
Many thanks
Ray

Hopefully the site owner can update the lists here soon. Freeview didn't announce the change of mux as they no doubt expected everyone to do FULL retunes as a result of the other minor changes. Most people won't do that!

The Crystal Palace Freeview channel/MUX/UHF lists need to be updated - examples = QuestRed+1 is still there, EarthXTV (79) is not yet included, it is purported to be on Com6.
I would be most grateful if my UHF "bible" could be up-to-date, whilst realising that others have other things to do besides serve us without charge.
