Just a shame none of those possibilities include improving the picture quality.

Steady on! They haven't managed to get the existing eight channels broadcast in full resolution yet!*
* except on a very limited number of transmitters ![]() I can only receive Emley Moor, Belmont and Bilsdale and they all have full resolution on all eight channels. I believe someone stated a while ago that all channels on Winter Hill are also full res. I'm not sure why they have taken this piecemeal approach, it does seem a little odd. |

I don't think anything has changed since then. |

Shame this new ch won't be national (not on all transmitters), + not on freesat either. Quite poor really, goes back to the old saying *if u want these things u have to pay for them* (sky bring the only option outside cable networks).

It will be before 8am on July 8th, but will vary according to which transmitter you receive from. I deduce that from the programme schedule.

The channel re-numbering could take place before that with a simple mheg screen announcing the new channel. |

Blighty closes at 3am on the 6th according to the EPG on Virgin Media, presumably releasing playout facilities for Drama. DigiGuide has no listings for Blighty from 3am on the 1st, so there's some uncertainty there.

Technical changes are likely this week, most likely Tuesday-Thursday. Changes do sometimes happen on Mondays and Fridays - but not very often. A holding MHEG on channel 20 is most likely, with Gold and Home quietly moving to their new slots. Digital UK have so far been quiet on the matter.Blighty's playout could technically be used to broadcast a preview loop for Drama after 00:00:01 on 6th July. But that's speculation. |

overnights.tv states: 3am is the usual closedown and programmes are listed to 3am on the 6th, after which it states "Channel no longer available". Time will tell but there's only 3 hours difference anyway.Quote:

Yes, they aren't really leaving much time for a preview loop.

I was going via the UKTV listings on there own website! Which shows Blighty closing at 2.56 am on the 6th. Then for the rest of the 6th Blighty no longer appears.
