I've just performed a channel scan, and this station appears
to have moved from Mux 2 to another mux.

I think (but can't confirm because I'm using a pre-historic On Digital
box) it has moved to Mux A or D ?

Whatever mux it has moved to, there is intermittent break up of the signal.
As no other DTT transmission is suffering break up, I can only assume
there's a fault with the transmission, rather than my reception.

Of course nobody (including myself) watches the channel, so this problem
is of purely academic interest :-)

I'm off to watch some paint drying now.




Price-Drop has moved from Mux 2 to Mux A. However it has kept it's
logical Channel number (24) which could be the source of confusion.

That was why specific instructions said not to rescan until October 1st,
I think.

This frees up a slot on Mux 2 for ITV3 but the Logical Channel Number
has not been announced AFAIK. 13 seems most likely but 9 would be better
if the teletext service occupying that LCN was reallocated.

I think I saw somewhere while Googling for the information above that ITV3
has a budget a quarter of that of ITV2. We should not expect too much I
suppose.


Oh Calamity.

There'll be no chance then of genuine ITV drama classics, such
as Granada's epic, Family At War [1], and LWT's Dennis Potter
season ?

Not that anyone running ITV has the attention span to appreciate
programming like that; perhaps BBC 4 will show them instead.

[1] To be fair this was actually shown by Granada Plus back in
1997.

Who allocates the LCN? It doesn't seemn very logical :-(

Does anyone know what will be on ITV3?


From:-
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds15256.html

Quote:-

"ITV3, the new classic drama, movie and entertainment channel from ITV,
is now expected to launch as a free-to-air channel - and therefore to appear
on Freeview in addition to satellite and cable.

Without citing sources, a report in Media Guardian says that ITV chairman
Charles Allen "is understood" to have reached the decision to alter plans
that would have launched the station as a subscription-only service."

End quote

Except that Sky claim there are no spare EPG slots available, so the
D-Sat launch will be delayed.


Seeing as 4 Arabic channels up in the 800's have just be removed that
argument doesnt hold water any longer. However, no doubt their epg slots
would have to be re-allocated on the basis of the next 4 channels
waiting to launch rather than just handing them over to itv.

)There does seem to be a software problem with the digiboxes with
respect to the number of channels it can handle, Im not disputing that -
apparently new software will be run out later in the year then a whole
host of dire new services will be able to appear)

You get into trouble if you don't refer to it as S4C, I'd've thought. Sheep's
head at the bottom of your bed, and all that.

I'm sure I've seen the details somewhere but it wasn't where I thought (the DTG
site). They do have a website though after googling: http://www.teleg.co.uk/

They apparently transmit from 6-7pm every day. I don't think there's much on
there that hasn't already been shown on BBC Scotland or STV/Grampian.
