When do you think the channels will come on air?
I confidently predict 21:13 last night (within 5 mins).

Manchester has extra capacity that was for use by former local station Channel M. London will have a local TV multiplex soon.

Will the new London local TV multiplex be available in the South East as well in the 800s?

No, it won't. It'll be for London only. The local TV channel for London on channel 8 plus two extra videostreams, on yet allocated channel numbers. Also note the context of the Twitter conversation.

Not neccessarily. Any deal between Canis Media and broadcasters to transmit on the "Manchester Television Network" as they call it does not equate to a carriage deal in the future on the new local multiplexes.

The 6 new channels will include movie channels, shopping channels and the first Asian broadcaster to broadcast on Freeview. It sound like they've got all those new channel slots already filled. |

Are these IPTV? Surely there isn't space for 10 channels on a local multiplex, unless it's configured like a normal multiplex?

The local london multiplex has a restricted coverage area - even parts of south london won't get it.

The latest London local engineering plan is for enhanced coverage with a 20kW ERP. If so coverage would be similar to pre-DSO.

@Colin_London
It's hidden away on the Ofcom website. On travels at the moment (DS Forums and Ofcom site very fiddly on mobile devices!), but its somewhere on http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bro...l-tv-services/ EDIT: http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/binari...erage-note.pdf |

I was under the impression that the pre-DSO DTT antenna was close to the top of the CP mast (219m)?The proposed local antennas will be mounted at 127m. The radiation pattern indicates at least a 1 dB restriction i.e. ~ 15 kW max ERP. The 127 m will reduce the area covered, but with the lover modulation/FEC the signal may well be much more robust - where available. A 20kW DVB-T2 16-QAM CR=1/2 would have a bitrate of 15 Mbps and be as robust as the 200kW main CP muxes - except for the lower TX antenna. DVb-T2 has been broadcast from CP for 2 1/2 years now. How many FreeviewHD receivers are already active in the area covered? How many before this local mux can start ? Lars

And all of them in Super Misty Vision. |

To be read as 'Jeremy, us big boys are only really interested in the London licence and you have let us down by not allowing us to reach the advertising account holders who live in the home counties. Give us our licence to print money and get those OFCOM people to let us turn the wick up or we will walk away from your pet project'... |

Signal of the Manchester Multiplex seems much stronger than when Channel M was on air. (here in Stockport anyway)
EPG data seems to be there for most channels now: Screenshot |

New temporary LCN 790
There seems to be some sort of change partly underway this lunchtime. The LCN tables as broadcast across all muxes from Winter Hill are showing a new LCN on the Manchester mux - using the temporary LCN of 790:
Code:
0000: 75 01 fc 3b 74 81 fc 39 75 41 ff 16 74 c1 fc 3a u..;t..9uA..t..: 0010: 74 41 fc 38 tA.8 Code:
service_ID: 30017 (0x7541)[ --> refers to PMT program_number] service_type: 1 (0x01) [= digital television service] |
