Interesting that during the last week a black box has popped up onto BBC Freeview (during the tennis), telling me that Switchover will be occurring on the 14th and 28th September! Now I am on the Sudbury transmitter (unlike most parts of the country there really is no possibility of picking up stray digital signals from elsewhere here in Ipswich), and Sudbury dates are 6th and 20th July. The other East Anglia transmitters are Talconeston which switches in November and Sandy Heath which has already switched, so why am I getting this message?

Dale: Someone's made a mistake in programming the system, probably, because those are the dates for Oxford and its relays.
I suppose it's possible that if there was a problem with the programme feed to Sudbury, that it might be taking a feed from Oxford, or at least the multiplexer that feeds Oxford. Is it happening on all channels or just the BBC?
