jb38: Sorry to argue about this, just having a look at the "Blue Book" and it should be possible for recordings to use programme identifiers that allow scheduled recordings to be continuted if a channel moves to a new multiplex."22.2.3.7 Tracking schedule changesWhen the recorder is not in passive standby and a schedule change occurs, the affected programmes in the schedule of recordings and any recordings in progress shall be updated. In standby, a recorder shall monitor the EITp/f sufficiently frequently and for sufficient duration to allow a programme to be recorded successfully even when the start time is brought forward by up to ten minutes and the schedule"This means that when a channel moves multiplex the NIT can show that the identified scheduled recording is to be found in a new place. This is possible because the NIT for ALL Freeview channels is carried on ALL Freeview multiplexes.

I have been told that a local provider operates a broadband service using a microwave antenna mounted on one of the Lark Stoke (Gloucestershire) masts, but have been unable to identify the company concerned. Does anyone happen to know, or can anyone suggest who I might ask? Thanks!
