Niven: Yes, it says
After switchover frequency notes ():
Arqiva B at Sheffield is expect to temporarily operate on channel 63 for a short period after switchover.
ArqB starts on C63 at DSO 2 (24 August 2011) at full power (1kW) and moves to final channel (this has C49 - prev C39) on 27 September (a Tuesday)

Jamie: Red indicates that a transmitter has engineering information associated with it.

Since 10th August ish, we can't get BBC1 or BBC2, presumably because of the BBCA mux going to channel 27, whatever that means. Re-tuned Samsung digi-box many times, it has updated itself with new software and I've tried resets and cleaning the co-ax connections. Can't get BBC2 on analogue either. Had a new aerial that the man said was specifically for this transmitter last year. Other TVs in the house get all channels fine (presumably getting Emley Moor).
Help.

Joe: The Sheffield transmitter at Crosspool is in the middle of its switchover, so you won't get BBC2 analogue because it has already been switched off. The rest of the analogue signals will disappear on Wednesday 24th Aug.
BBC1 & BBC2 are now on UHF channel 27, and retuning should find them - but if you haven't "cleared out" the previous UHF channel information for these, then your digibox will store them with programme numbers up in the 800s. Have a look there to see if that's what's happened.

Hi Jim. Thanks for your response.
Still no luck. Tried all combinations and permutations of resets, retunes and software updates. Even tried letting it half tune then taking aerial co-ax out and vice versa then total power off, reset and retune. Same. I don't know if this is relevant but I don't get any channels above the 700s (Samsung sir u-2001 digibox can apparently go up to 999).

joe - I think what you will find is that the signal now is phenomenally strong where you are - can you actually see the top of the transmitter - if so your box is probably being swamped by too much signal
nip into ATV at hillsbourgh opposite back entrance to the barracks where morrisons is and get an attenuator - they do a various ones you probably find it will work once the signal is reduced
The aerial installer would have installed a wideband aerial - you obviously received analogue BBC 2 as you state you now miss it - the new BBC channels are where BBC2 analogue used to be !

if not they're about a fiver so you've not wasted much
