If the transmitter was off and no forum members noticed, I wonder how many viewers it has got.

Movies4men LCN 51 has been completely removed from the G_MAN mux sometime in the last 42 hours, exact time unknown to me - scripts haven't been running since 23:50 on Sunday for some reason. The retune message video and audio PIDs have gone too. So G_MAN is now running with 5 video streams.
Also, I see there are photos up on MB21 of the new L_MAN antenna (as well as L_LIV and L_PTN) - http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/gallery...71&pageid=1867 - seems slightly ironic that the new L_MAN arrangement appears to be exactly what OFCOM specified for G_MAN - "Four stacked log periodic antennas" at 140m AGL - back when they were auctioning it and Cardiff in 2008 - http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bin...tice524/im.pdf page 20. |

I thought the dreadful pictures on Movies for men were due to it being squeezed in to the Manchester Mux. Now I can compare M4M with M4M+1 on the Man Mux, they are identically dreadful. Perhaps it doesn't matter, I get the impression that some people on these forums collect TV channels like small boys used to collect railway engine numbers, they don't actually watch them so quality of any kind is unimportant.

Trainspotting probably isn't too far off the mark - I'm interested in the Freeview tech because I can dig inside it via a pc card and linux, but if I'm actually sitting down watching TV then it's almost always something in HD recorded or live from my Sky box! |

L_MAN has just fired up - data already present, two channels visible. There's a fair chance L_LIV and L_PTN may be up too, worth a look if you may be on one of those petals...
edit: 14:50 and L_MAN is off air now. |

Bonanzabonanza (64) and Pop (75) both OK in Altrincham, good signal strength/quality. Picture quality on The Lucy Show rather dire as reported elsewhere in these forums.

L_MAN seems to be off now, and has been for maybe 20+ minutes. I'm starting to suspect that they've finished testing for the day.

I am in Wirral and get
Pop Bonanza Bonanza and nothing else on this mux. It is on ch 56. Can anyone confirm what is currently on the Manchester Channel 56 if anything? Not sure which one I am getting - I assume Liverpool but cannot confirm it. Out of curiosity where in the country are you? |

So are you saying you can't get either of them now? And whereabouts in the North West are you?

Then from approx 5:30pm it changed - still seeing signal strength but zilch signal quality - I'm now wondering if they turned the Liverpool petal on and I'm getting mush. As above, approx location is outer Salford- Little Hulton, Walkden, Worsley sort of area to give you an idea of bearing to the transmitter. Anyone else getting channels from L_MAN today? Maybe (I hope!) they are just feeding it with noise as a test... |

The NEW local TV services for Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are all going to be on CH56. It's impossible to receive more than 1 of them, and there are mush zones between where none are receivable. |

Just to clarify, CH57 is the original Manchester Mux that this thread was started for.
