Since Brierley Hill is a relay off Sutton Coldfield, it would be receivable over a wide area.

What do you mean by "BBC wm"? Is this the BBC WM radio service? If so what LCN is it appearing on? Agree that it is very strange. I would like a second source for this before being convinced- it doesn't seem very likely.
As it's not linked to local TV, can I suggest splitting this off to another thread? |

Can see the 96 kbps stream (as also mentioned in the Changelog) - but direct from Sutton Coldfield via UHF channel 43. There's a screenshot on my website. Can't verify the audio - as it's hidden from my Freeview receivers and the software obviously just analyses the raw multiplex data.

Yes. BBC Radio WM audio. I only mentioned it here as it was found when scanning for the local mux. Feel free to move to a new thread

Fascinating! I think you should have the honour of starting the new thread in this forum describing what you've found since it really could be quite significant. Please post a link here to the new thread and then we can let this local TV thread get back on track.

Fortunately my mispost and Digital UK's extra London-centric entry have both been removed already. Thanks to whoever the mod is who did mine for me

I mistakenly posted on the changelog (arggg!) instead of this thread that at about 4pm LondonLive was listed in the LCN 8 slot on Digital UK's channel listing: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/industry/...annel_listings

That list used to have Estuary on it. DUK obviously changed it to Local TV to avoid clogging the list up, and somebody different presumably mistakenly added London Live as an extra.

Yes but that is a test,London live is a test but we know it will launch on 31/3/14.So i was wondering when LCN 791 Local TV Test 1 would move to a new home and launch.
I guess there's a chance they'll generate another placeholder with Bonanza Bonanza+1 |

I suspect you'd have to ask Comux- and if they are still deep in negotiations or have had no interest- either way they aren't likely to let on.

From Crystal Palace, my Technika box connected to the rooftop aerial is now refusing to pick up the local mux, Bonanza channel, local test card and London Live tests all breaking up, pixellating, completely unwatchable. Yet my portable set in the kitchen complete with indoor aerial is pulling them in loud and clear!

My Technika box is very poor at picking up the local mux, actually managed to decode it for the first time yesterday but it keeps breaking up. Other receivers are much better. It must have a less sensitive tuner.

Why can't I get it on both sets?
Further to earlier posts #153-158.
Following the recent change to LCN 8 and 64, I tried tuning the bedroom TV again on ch 29 and up popped 8, 64 and 791 with decent signal strengths. Set top aerial and nothing has changed here since the set's original refusal to "see" anything on ch 29. There must have been a change of transmission characteristics that has enabled it to show up on my cheapo set. Ch 29 from Crystal Palace is predicted not to radiate southwards (unlike the yet-to-be-commissioned Croydon transmitter which will), but I notice reception reports from much further south than here (I'm 3 miles south of CP). Who said RF is a black art? |
