Whilst MikeP has been telling me on the Selkirk DAB section that I don't know anything about B700 retuning, this has been brewing for a while, and seems now to be official so I can reveal it.
http://www.digitaluk.co.u….pdf
Shoots down the post B700 allocations shown here doesn't it MIkeP. Selikirk is another site using 32/33/34/35/36/48.
But I suspect you still don't want to believe me eh MikeP....?

As I've said on the other thread, you're welcome to carry on in your stubborn ignorance, I've tried to help and all you can do is bleat on that my information is unreliable and untrustworthy.
You won't hear from me again.

You must understand that technical and scientific people do not work on assumptions but need 'chapter and verse'. As you did not give any indictaion until yesterday what the source of your information was we could not give it any credence until it had been proven correct, or otherwise. In other words we needed proof.

TD8 6UP. loft-based aerial.
We recieve good signals of all freeview channels, including HD. However, our digital HDD recorder stutters the playback of the independant channels? All BBC channel recording play back perfectly, but recordings from channels ITV, Channel 4, Film 4 all stutter on playback.
Any suggestions about where I should begin checking for errors?
Could this be a problem with the box reading certain frequencies?
Any thoughts on what checks can I carry out?
Thanks.

To offer any useful advice we need to know what make and model of 'Digital HDD recorder' you are using. They vary quite a lot internally between makes so may behave differently.
