Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Manchester area have one of the extra local muxes? It is therefore appropriate to the Freeview changelog.
Bye for now

The changes to the Manchester mux at beginning of November was logged in post 895

The forum member concerned lost these channels as a result of a localised reception issue, and thus isn't a change for logging.
If forum members have lost access to channels, it is wise to
a) search the forum for a thread on the subject
and if a thread is not there
b) ask the question in the wider Freeview forum - not the Changelog.
It will soon become apparent if the "change" is actually due to a localised reception problem, or a fault in the forum member's equipment.
In the event that following a post elsewhere in the forum, it appears to be a geniune change to the digital terrestrial platform, forum members across the UK will be able to confirm it, the regions in which the change applies (e.g. post-Digital Switchover/pre-Digital Switchover regions), and it can then be posted in the Changelog (example Rocks and Co extended hours).
---------------------------------------------------------
I would like to clarify the post from Bizman earlier:
LCN 26 Home is on air Friday only 1100-1200
As this is a non-Freeview channel, further information can be found over in the Top Up TV forum.
LCN 40 Rocks and Co: this change has already been logged 01/12/2011 and does not apply to London, Meridian, Tyne Tees or Ulster viewers
LCN 43 Gems TV has been 24 hours since 30/06/2011. (post 821)
The only change today for Freeview viewers (i.e. those who don't have Top Up TV) is that C5+1 has now gone live following the re-activation of channel 44 yesterday (which had been removed earlier this year following Pick TV+1's departure, but may not have disappeared from your line up if you don't retune often and have a non-autoretuning piece of equipment). If you have retuned today, some of the
changes made last week may now be reflected in your channel line up for the first time.
------------------------------------------------------------
I realise the whole thing about the Changelog is strict - however it has a special status as a 'pinned' or 'sticky' thread, and for it to retain
maximum usefulness for all forum members who subscribe to, or browse this thread, all changes should be confirmed/verified prior to posting. This will help avoid conflicting information being posted here.
General discussions about a change, or the content of a new channel, or the policy allowing a certain type of channel on Freeview, remain in the rest of the Freeview forum, as this thread would go completely off-topic, if we started debating the merits of +1 channels etc here, and would disappoint members clicking on the Changelog expecting a change only to find such a discussion (and I realise that some forum members will be disappointed to see this post of mine instead of a change being logged).
Can I politely ask that if anyone does log a change, that you post a link to a discussion thread (create a new one if there isn't one) to direct forum members start to the relevant discussion thread (saves searching for it, especially if it has an obscure title!).
Local retune events & switchover related posts affecting individual transmitter groups are found in the
technical sub-forum, whereas national retunes (all areas within a UK nation or UK as a whole), e.g. an EPG reshuffle or a new channel addition, can be mentioned here.
Thanks.
