I did notice last night (31st Jan) that after the analoque signals on Crystal Palace for BBC1 ch26, ITV ch23, and Channel 4 ch30 were switched off that a Mux appeared on ch 23 and ch 26 on a manual scan, there was no program info or program service. These do not appear on a auto scan. The engineers must be tinkering with things for switch over

Doh... just realized my machine is a 9200, so no wonder it doesn't load the software update currently being sent out. Think before you type next time, Chuck...

chuck: Pretty much the same applies to the 9200T. Its update is running next weekend, but the current firmware is even older, dating from May 2010 - it has been repeated every few months.

Aerial point: As far as April 4th is concerned its only the BBC Mux that will be changing from Ch25 to Ch23 whereby you will lose it unless you re-tune, the remaining Muxes changing their operating channels on April 18th.

Crystal Palace Transmitter, I get my signal via Downley (High Wycombe. At about 3.30am I went to check Ceefac on BBC1, the screen was completely black. I was receiving BBC2, ITV1 & CH4. I cannot get CH5 at all.I can`t check with my neighbours as they use Sky & it`s now about 5am. I retuned my TV but can now only get BBC2 & have no lost ITV1 & CH4. I wish I hadn`t bothered. I live in a small area of High Wycombe that can only get 4 terrestrial channels normally. (Since about 3.30am I`ve only had 1).

6.05am 7/2/12 As it is past 6am when the engineering work stops I re-tuned my TV & all channels 1 - 6 are in service again. Thank you for your help & information. I tried the BBC but they didn`t have a clue about engineering work being in progress & suggested that it could be high pressure or my equipment. Luckily I found your website after the BBC had let me down.
