John Morris: As per my posting above yours, PSB2 (which carries ITV1, Channel 4 etc) from Midhurst changed channel and therefore a retune is required. COM4 (ITV3, QVC etc) changed as well.

As predicted by KMJ,Derby on Thursday 26 April 2012 9:57AM
"Ann: A bit of information that you probably won't want to hear- Midhurst is planned to use C56 instead of C61 later this year as part of the clearance for 4G."
We cannot receive C56 (as well as C50) due to Horndean interference.
Anyone else affected likewise?
