I've just noticed that my tv stations guide on the freeview box has loads of new stations added - eg ITV3 ITV4 although there is no signal and cannot view them. Does anyone know if this is preparation for the Randwick transmitter going fully digital with the full range of freeview channels? Ta

Andy Slater: Read my response to another person in Stroud:

Top questions | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

Bring up the signal strength screen whilst on ITV3, Pick TV and Yesterday and see which UHF channels they are tuned to.

Refer here to see the three COM multiplexes:

DMOL Post-DSO Multiplex Channel Allocations

ITV3, Pick TV and Yesterday are on COM4, COM5 and COM6 respectively.

Maybe you are picking these up from Wenvoe. If you are, then you find that they are on C42, C45 and C49 respectively.

Or from Mendip they are on 48, 52 and 56.
