I have recently done a re scan following the sept 7th switch off.
I was looking at your list of Mux's and they do not agree with what I get when I scan. I get the following mux's: Mux A 482, Mux B 506 Mux C 530, Mux D 562, Mux 1 498, and Mux 2 570.
You list Mux 2 as 545. Am I reading this incorrectly? My Post code is ST5 area
