Tony: No, Crystal Palace's switchover (and therefore all its relays, of which Guildford is one) starts on Wednesday 4 April. Guildford stopping use of C41 is the pre-requisite for Hannington making full use of it. Nearly all switchover events happen on a Wednesday. Only SDN's restriction is lifted on the 4th, ArqA and ArqB will still be restricted until the 18th.
To remove the restriction, services need to be switched from the restricted antenna to the main antenna, which involves disconnecting and reconnecting. Guildford C41 is being released by multiplex 2, which is taking over the BBC low-power multiplex's channel for the two-week period between stage 1 and stage 2, so that has to move before Hannington's changes can start.
Digital UK only guarantee that the work will be done by 6am. There are no technical changes to the multiplexes' configuration, so you do NOT need to retune, unless you cannot get the channels at the moment.
It's likely that BBC Two analogue at Crystal Palace and relays will be shut down shortly after 12:20am if the schedule is similar to this week and next (the BBC like to shut down at a programme junction, rather than in the middle of a programme). BBC One may have already shut down as the programme junctions this week and next are at 12:05am.

Tony: According to Ofcom's latest document, on 18th April all three of Hannington's COMs (41,44,47) will go up to their full final power.
Digital UK Tradeview suggests that for Hannington there will be "COM power-up" on 4th and 18th April. However, the power is shown to increase to full level (25kW) for all three on 4th April and not increase on 18th.
I suspect that both of these sources are not entirely correct.
I suggest, as KMJ,Derby has said, that come 4th April, Guildford will relinquish use of channel 44 and therefore Hannington's (ArqA) will go up to full power.
Then two weeks later, when Guildford stops using C41 and C47, Hannington's other two COMs will go on full power.
Obviously, there will be no need for a full retune; just manually tune the multiplexes when they become available, except for poorly designed sets that don't have a manual tune option.

22nd March 2012 and I appear to have lost a massive chunk of channels - the BBC channels all vanished, however SKY news etc were OK. Retuned and now all the SKY has gone but I have BBC back and only 41 channels (previously 100+). (51.4816,-1.6213)

Mr Smith: You are in an area served by the Aldbourne relay transmitter. Now switchover has happened, this is only does not carry the full range of Freeview channels; it is a Public Service transmitter only. You received full Freeview before switchover, so you must have been getting it from Hannington.
The first thing to do is ensure that your receiver(s) doesn't choose to use the signals from Aldbourne. They use low channels and Hannington uses ones higher up, so as a matter of course, it is a good idea to have the aerial lead unplugged for the first 20% of the automatic tuning scan to avoid picking up Aldbourne.
The Commercial multiplexes will be on low power from Hannington for a few weeks more.
On 4th April, ArqA on C44 (carries Pick TV etc) will switch to its full final power. Two weeks later on 18th April, SDN on C41 (carries ITV3 etc) and ArqB on C47 (carries Yesterday etc) will go to full power.

As the Guilford transmitter should have stopped transmitting on C41 at 6AM this morning, can anyone confirm that C41 from Hannington is now at full power?
