I live in the East Midlands Today area. As many know (although not a word on the news about it) today 6 areas have now got regional news on 101HD. Yes we have but on my old Panasonic HW100 Freeview box which works perfectly I discovered when the change came for some reason all the HD channels not just BBC signals disappeared with the message no service. To sort it I had to tuning and choose Update Channel List and they came back. And I did not loose my programs I had set to record. Contacted a friend and they checked and they had the same problem.. If you did not know tonight any programs you had set to record on HD would be lost.

Elvin Rose: Many receivers handled the change automatically, it's mostly older TVs and boxes that would have required a manual retune. The BBC did publish an announcement yesterday, which can be found at the link below.
