I've had a report from North Wales indicating the test transmissions are already on at Llanddona.

Are you inside the city of Birmingham - the same frequency is used for local TV from Mendip, Wenvoe, and Oxford as well as a national multiplex from Sandy Heath, Nottingham and Derby so is restricted in those directions to protect those services (i.e. you should only expect a signal from Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham itself).

The July 2013 plans indicated that the following transmitters would be on-air by today at the following 12 transmitters (plus Belmont which came on air in November)Sutton Coldfield Ilchester Crescent Mendip Wenvoe Black Hill (Glasgow) Pontop Pike Waltham Brierley Hill (reports of this possibly broadcasting a blank carrier/null packets) Tacolneston (reports of this possibly broadcasting a blank carrier/null packets) Whitehawk Hill (no reports of a signal) Kings' Weston (no reports of a signal) Nottingham (no reports of a signal) As of now test cards have been observed broadcasting from 7 sites, a signal of sorts from a further two sites, and there have been no reports of a signal from three (note this does NOT mean they are not yet on air - it just means no-one in the Digital Spy forums has observed tests - note the three with no reports are all relay sites so have fewer potential viewers). Also note that some of these have sprung into action today so it may be the other five have come on air properly too and we are waiting for members to get home to report on their status. There has never been any confirmation of the air date for the national channels (although this is expected to be around the time of the Crystal Palace transmitter entering full service next month) and the local channels are free too choose there own air dates. |

My standard rooftop aerial has tonight picked up 791 & 792 with Comux-local TV test test-card, with bouncing square and tone. That's on 754MHz from Pontop Pike. According to TSReader Lite, both video streams are 2.5Mbps.

No change at Tacolneston - there is still a 'blank' carrier being transmitted (as it has been, as far as I have been aware, continuously since early December) but nothing to tune in to.

The Digital UK Postcode checker was updated last week - shows in-service dates for the local multiplex from Nottingham and Waltham as being 10/02/2014 (tomorrow).
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragec...trade/NG1+4BU/ (Interestingly the updated date still says 19 December, but the in service dates are new!) |
