It has appeared in all three local LCN tables from Winter Hill too, and video & audio are not yet in place on the Manchester petal.

I'm also seeing 9 other blank services all with a single unique PID for PMT. (Waltham)

3 channels (or 3 simultaneous video streams, more precisely)
The Service IDs listed against the LCN 0 services on your screen capture are unique to services on the D3&4 multiplex. It looks as if the configuration has corrupted at some point. (The PMT PID numbers would also be as expected for D3&4.)
You should have those service IDs listed against 738000 for Waltham.
It would appear that you are correct!
looks like I'll have to re-do the tvheadend config at some point.. Joy.
No - it's now full.
3 x 2.5Mbps fixed rate video, 0.65Mbps Audio, 0.55Mbps tables vs. Total capacity of Mux = 9Mbps
I imagine because it is a lot cheaper to do....
As you just need to code up one version and mux it into each local mux,
To stat mux each each mux would require 3 stat muxed encoders per station
Rather than on fixed rate coder per station plus two UK wide coder and a simple mux..
And in any case there is very litte stat mux gain from three sources.
North East:
Made in Tyne and Wear
Star Radio
Metro Radio
NE1 FM
Chart Show TV/POP
North West:
Same as above with the local radio stations of the North West
Leeds/Yorkshire:
Yorkshire Radio
Made In Leeds TV
Two other local stations
Chart Show TV/POP
After all this is the way that local TV emission is being subsidised.
And any thing which has more than one coder per local mux will cost more ... Fir capital equipment ....
I cannot se the BBC who are funding this to the tune if £25 million being very happy at the extra costs ,
........ And in OPex ..
. Radio back haul, extra monitoring by Comux,, extra EPG costs by digital uk. Different monitoring by Arqiva. Etc , etc....
I'm sure if someone (the radio stations) pay .. The regulation could be changed
But is it likely ?
Woah, where would the money come from?
Being Newcastle based I would look at those three possible North East stations and say:
Metro Radio: part of the Bauer group, if the price was right they probably could justify paying for a Freeview radio slot
Star Radio: as a multi-town communtiy-radio station with low-power FM transmitters in those towns, the Freeview radio slot is going to have to be very cheap as they are likely operating on a shoestring
NE1 FM: with a single FM transmitter in Gateshead which struggles to reach some parts of Newcastle, this community station is never going to be able to afford the cost of a Freeview radio license unless it is actually given to them for free. I don't know anything about their finances, but I suspect it is almost entirely volunteer run.
