Now obviously that doesn't make sense, so I wonder if it should be from 00:00 to 03:00, because that is currently vacant capacity (3-4am is YourTV+1). |

The current hours are 04:00 to 12:00, so maybe the change is temporary and they are going to revert later. The new hours were on a pop-up on screen.

OK got it sorted. LCN63 has moved from COM6 to COM5 and gives the new hours 10:00 to midnight.
The COM6 version is now on LCN793 showing 12:00 to midnight. |

So that was the hidden stream on COM5. There are now 16 video streams on COM5

Who is using it when the Community Channel isn't on air? |

The space has effectively been allocated since 9th August, when more null packets were introduced, reducing the bitrate of all the existing streams. Then some radio stations (which had moved to ARQB) were removed and there was enough space to add a TV channel.

Sunday's 'change' was displayed in error apparently and has now been replaced by programme content.

I wonder if the Community Channel have actually paid for this steam using the money from their recent fundraising or if they'll be kicked off the stream if another channel takes it over?

I wonder what could share hours with Community. An adult channel or Ideal World could go 24 hours again?

Well I was watching it this morning and at midday they pulled the plug on me. It has now moved to COM8 which I cannot receive.

I no longer receive it either. Although COM8 is transmitted in my region, my communal system does not distribute this mux.

I can get it on my tv while I cant get the other com7 hd and com8 hd don't have dvb-t2 on my youview box with my router
As a side note. I can get all the channels if I connect the box to my bedroom (non hd) tv, for which I use an old 'loop antenna'. That one is not really practical on my main set though. |

Youview IS a DVB-T2 receiver. So will get the HD muxes on COM7 and COM8 if they are transmitted in you area.
