COM4 (SDN) seems to be running at slightly lower power than normal at the moment. I'm getting a 'high' signal strength on all the other muxes, but on COM4 it's 'good'. I haven't changed the position of my aerial at all and it's normally 'high' on all 6 muxes.

JORDAN: Not usually.
I do remember a case of someone on here who said that he had no quality but good signal on the Commercial channels after they'd changed, so it may be possible, but very unlikely.

JORDAN: ArqB's capacity increase should have occurred on 21 November last year. If your box handled that, it should handle the upcoming changes to SDN and ArqA. Those are scheduled for 1 May, next Tuesday.
