By the way, is there a more up-to-date version of a516's Freeview multiplex guide (http://www.a516digital.com/2014/11/d...y-guide.html)?”

It is rather complicated but I will sort something in the next week or so. I will let you know when it is ready.”

Capacity time shares on commercial multiplexes are dynamic. So unlike BBC A, where capacity is shared on the same group of packet IDs, on the commercial muxes unique PIDs are used by each service.

Yes for BBC Three HD / CBBC HD on BBC B. BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD on ARQ C are dynamic shares.
