I apologize a156

This change is significant after all. Television X website has been update to say the freeview service is no lounger available. So clearly there will be a upcoming change. It looks like it is closing.

The only reason I have not posted the website as source is due to the graphic nature.

T-View was seen testing on LCN32 today at about 4.30pm. It will be PIN protected and show a film everyday between 6pm and 8pm. Maybe a replacement for Picturebox on TUTV. No start date was visible.

The duplicate MUX C version of premier radio broadcasting without LCN has had its sound removed. It has been reduced to a caption.

The caption has changed to say:

Sorry-We have moved!

To provide a long term service on freeview Premier has moved to a new frequency. Please rescan your freeview tv or set top box.

Why am I getting changeover messages on BBC interactive about the switchover apparently in March, when Waltham isn't scheduled for months? Have they changed it recently?

There are 2 pre-DSO retunes required, 30/3/11 & 13/4/11 for Waltham viewers.

The change only applies to pre dso areas. In post DSO areas 301 is already on the MUX 1 switchover equivalent.

Also this change has not happened just yet what ray was saying is they are testing for it on MUX 1. For the time been the MUX B version is still there.

JCM Direct has also appeared on LCN98 Adult Blue as well. A few days ago it had zumba fitness products on there so this is a change in programming.

BBC Radio 4 Extra has just lauched on LCN 708, there has been no change to the MUX as of yet. The MHEG is still the bbc radio 7 mheg and the station is still listed under its old name although its now pumping out BBC Radio 4 Extra on LCN 708.

LCN 708 Now renamed BBC Radio 4 EX.

The mheg still has the old bbc radio 7 logo on it underneath it though they have added some text referring to bbc radio 4 extra.

BBC Radio 4 Extra Launch is now 100% complete, the station name has been updated as mentioned in previous post and the old bbc radio 7 MHEG has now been replaced with a brand new BBC Radio 4 Extra MHEG.

So as I say bbc radio 7 change to BBC Radio 4 Extra is now complete.

Well it was complete they have reverted the change to the mheg its back to the bbc radio 7 one. Maybe they made a mistake with it as some of the red button content disappeared. So they only thing left to change is the mheg to a BBC radio 4 extra MHEG.

Well the radio 4 extra mheg is sorted again but they are having some issues with the red button. Some of the content has disappeared i.e. the channel hopper. And sometimes its hanging on the what's on today. Todays changes have also caused missing content on the other radio stations i.e the chart listings is missing on radio 1 red button.

The channel hopper also appears to have vanished on all the radio stations.

All the missing radio red button content has now been restored apart from the radio channel hopper which is still MIA. Maybe bbc have decided to remove it on purpose?

301 now live on Mux 1 in London and also on Mux B for a minute before it was removed from the Mux B NIT.!!!

The old service is still there on Mux B (without LCN or NIT/SDT entries) for those who have yet to retune.

This is also true on Rowridge.

No EPG on the MuxB version either.
