Did a retune recently and I now have ITV3 on 10 on Freeview (800 on Youview) and the aforementioned Sewing Quarter(!) on 78 on Freeview (801 on Youview). Presumably I'm getting them from Emley Moor?

David Mansell: ITV3 and Sewing Quarter are now broadcast from every transmitter on the PSB2 mux (alongside ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc). If you retune your Youview box it should put ITV3 on the correct channel.

Thanks, just did that and the channels have relocated to their correct numbers on Youview too. Perhaps the rubric for the Todmorden, Cirnholme and Walsden relays needs updating.
