That's the changelog, for changes that have already happened. Not for forthcoming changes.

I'll stick with the Changelog, thank you. Sometimes launch dates change.

Not true. See the last bit of Post 6 of that thread (from its OP - a516) re "imminent changes to the service".

Where has the LCN to be used for Drama been confirmed? I thought there was still a possibility that it might get "promoted" and GOLD relegated.

The changelog has evolved a long way since it's 6th post. Tomee (and others) have in the past posted speculation and press releases for upcoming changes to the changelog - and various people, including myself, suggested that they'd be better posting such things elsewhere until the change has actually happened - we have seen examples where speculation was wrong, and also where companies pre-announced things which didn't then come to fruition. I think tomee starting this thread is a really good idea.

It was on my local transmitter site posted by someone in authority who answers viewers questions. I don't have the link at present.

Brian Butterworth who runs ukfree.tv is not "in authority". He presents information which is taken from industry sites, and sometimes makes assumptions, just like people do on this forum.

Most people expect Drama to appear on LCN25, that doesn't make it set in stone, It's not a big deal anyway

Actually I expect it to appear on Ch 20, as I think GOLD is likely to vanish sometime over summer when/if ESPN goes.

UKTV will get around the rules by shuffling their channels around and putting the soon-to-be-closed one on 58 (or whatever the first available one is).

As for this thread, all it causes is for people to discuss a mishmash of changes in here rather than in the appropriate thread. You can tell what is coming up soon by reading the top few thread titles, as imminent changes result in massively active threads, so I don't see the need for it.

So you think GOLD might be going soon where would that leave Topuptv. Don't forget Home is also on the freeview EPG.

Given that ESPN and Sky Sports 1 & 2 are highly likely to be leaving TUTV, I hardly think that the 14 hours of GOLD they broadcast will make a lot of difference.

Don't forget Home is also on the freeview EPG.
Yeah, for one hour a week! It's keeping the LCN warm, nothing more.

I don't think the Anytime service will be affected, just those two still masquerading as full live channels.

BBC RB 302 has appeared on the ARQA mux - so viewers will need to be in an area that receives the 3 commercial muxes, not just the 3 PSB muxes - but HD is not required.

tomee I have no idea what you are on about with the radio station name "changes" you've reported on the changelog thread. Nothing has changed with them as far as I can tell. My scripts check the Service Descriptor Table every 10 mins and I reported the changes that I detected on the Red Button 300- channels. What names do you think the radio channels have changed from?

This is slightly off-topic but it's not major enough to have a separate thread.

When I did a retune just now on my Technika HD box, I was being asked for region selection for the SDN channels for Scotland then North Scotland, Never had this before.

Obviously, I've had region selection for the main channels before.
