Try looking at the channel number list a few posts above and using the numbers regardless of what the labels say.

I'm on the Rowridge (Isle of Wight) transmitter and had apparently lost ITV4 (no great loss really), but switching to channel 24 shows I do have it, but it is mislabelled as Bid TV.

Sounds like there may be a few labelling issues. Will these sort themselves out or will another retune be necessary to pick up the correct labels?

I *think* I have all the channels still, had a bit of a panic when it retuned as channels are all over the place, not in order at all, and finally found channel 5, ITV4 and 3 and ITV2 + 1 on channels 800 - 803

This is confusing and I hope they sort all this mess out.

Unfortunately, the problem is likely to be at your end - either your receiver or aerial. Go to http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1135615 for help.

Many forum members are having issues as a result of the change.

This is causing the changelog to go off-topic, and the same advice is being dished out on threads all over the terrestrial forums.

I have started a new thread offering a one-stop shop for help and advice. So, if your channels are in a mess, or channels are missing or you don't know how to retune, or you are suffering from split-NITs and you want to do nasty things to your TV or rip your hair out,

go to the Retune Advice Clinic at: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1135615, where the DS community will help with your query.

Hope we can help!

If you need to tune a SAMSUNG set for a neighbour etc, don't spend 30 minutes as I did, before you notice the remote has 2 Menu buttons. One marked MENU only operates the analogue signal. The other, somewhat hidden among many other buttons. is called D MENU and is the one you require to tune the DVB/Freeview signal.

Adult Channel (Sky 901) is reporting that it will be on Freeview CH 98 from Tuesday

Can't find an online reference to the info, sorry.

This seems to fit with the closure of Big Deal ch32
