Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems after the June 28th 2019 re tune? I am on the Malvern Transmitter.
I am having problems obtaining Ch 48 True Entertainment, and its the same on all my devices so I don't think its a receiver issue. When it was on Ch 61 it was great, then we were asked to re tune, and that's when the problem started. Strangely if you go right to the end of the listed channels you can found it at 790 but it says "please re tune to get True entertainment. Can anyone tell me whats going on please? BTW the frustration is I can get 47 and 49 but no matter how many time I re scan Ch 48 just doesn't appear. All other channels appear to be OK.
BTW, I think this site is out of date as it still shows True Entertainment as Ch61.

Nigel :
It is not a problem with the transmitter. True Entertainment has been moved onto the local multiplexes where they are available. Malvern does not transmit any local services at all. The move was on behalf of the service owner, Sony.
The owner of this site has not yet had an aopportunity to update the site due to all the changes currently being made to all the over 1100 transmitters around the UK. If you want the up-to-date UHF channekl usage, go to the Digital UK Coverage Checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…er/, put in your full post code and house name/number, select Detailed View and press Go. Scroll down the listings to see the details for your chosen transmitter.
