Freeview EPG reshuffle
When the reshuffle happens later this year I really hope that the following sections get created:
Music
Film
Doucumentry and Factual
Shopping (I know this ones the least likely out of my list)
I know that this is very unlikely but I prefer the genres grouped together.

I wish that the Shopping Channels would have their own section as it seems a bit of a jumble mixed in with the entertainment/film (nice too see a good selection of movie/film channels on Freeview with Sony Movie Ch.,Talking Pictures TV, True Movies etc).
I'd like HD news channels to go in the News section though.
^ Agreed because the shopping channels will be lobbying hard for no change and I so don't expect there to be any significant change from mixed entertainment, kids, HD, news, everything else, etc.
if they are full, then why are things being moved for mobile networks? Anyway, take some of the rubbish off there and there will be more room.
Still a crazy system, but typical of the U.K to get something that is useless.
Really? just too much mucking around, it really is.
the U.K implanted a system that was out dated and naff when it started, but this is normal for this country, never get anything right. We can't run traibns, we got a naff telecom system, naff mobile networks, naff roads, NHS that is falling apart, schools that are struggling, a useless government and cities that are going to pot.
How do you know there going to be one?
So you should be able to provide a link with no problem then.
I don't understand your point. You do realise that an EPG reshuffle has nothing to do with bandwidth allocation/clearance? The EPG number is purely a means to access the channel and nothing to do with the tuning.
How was DVB "outdated" and "naff"? What would have been the alternatives considering that DVB is an agreed international standard?

As a regular on this forum I am surprised you have not seen any of the many posts about it.
I know a EPG shuffle is nothing to do with bandwidth, it is a lets have a change around to annoy people
I bet other countries have done it better, we was in such a rush to get it out that we mucked it up, after all it was a system that came from a bankrupt company, On digital.
The whole retuning thing is stupid, even TV sets that are suppose to retune automatically do not do it correctly and we find we have to do a complete setup anyway.
Just leave things alone, no need for a EPG shuffle unless they are taking some of the rubbish off.
DVB-T wasn't invented by onDigital.
AFAIK the decision to pick that standard was made before the licences were awarded.

Quote from the article: "Digital UK is expected to make an announcement outlining its position and plans for channel changes soon."
So, no decision has been announced yet.
Hmm, I wonder why?

Unfortunately QVC got in there early, and their influence will ensure that the shopping channels stay where they are!
