E4 just launched but whole mux has broken up!
 

I'm watching the E4 launch as I type & as soon as it opened, the
picture is breaking up! I checked other stations on same mux & all
are breaking up. Signal quality is still 100%. Watching off Sandy
Heath.

Same here. Sandy Heath. Signal stength and quality 100%. Picture break up
all over the place and no sound whatsoever.

This is what I would call "Impact Testing"
Put something live and wait for the complaints.
"Incoming"

Its the weather - all the signals from Waltham are way down here (half way
between Waltham and Sandy Heath).

Well, nearly ...

E4 in 14 has audio+video, but every few seconds flicks to "service
unavailable" then comes straight back, seems like a glitch in there
somewhere ..

E4+1 on 39 is OK

705 has the BB MHEG with either bars+tone or the E4 adverts behind it

Unless you count intermittent bouts of destruction of the test match
commentary on Ch 4 - do I presume the same mux?

Yes, it's the same mux. I think it's still settling down a bit.

E4 on Sutton Coldfield is labeled "Top up TV new channel". Ooops!

is that on LCN49 or LCN14?

It's at number 14 on my Sony IDTV. Re-tuned it this afternoon just
before I posted. I haven't tried 49.

I did notice that the MHEG on 49 was just the "old" TUTV MHEG from 14
shunted to a different slot, it still mentioned E4, but now that it is
in it's timwslot, the (still) video it is playing mentions the mystery
new channel.

E4 on 14 is still playing trick on my Sony IDTV, Waltham TX, it usually
receives audio+video OK, but the "banner" keeps flicking between the
now/next info, a blank field and "not available", very annoying, at
least it doesn't happen on E4+1

Sometimes on tuning into E4 the video+audio tune in ok at first, then
after a few seconds a black MHEG + silence appears to replace it

Also I've had about four occasions where a TUTV channel refused to
decrypt and just displays scrambled as though there is no CAM/CARD present.

I suppose quite a lot had to be co-ordinated today between C4 and TUTV,
shame it hasn't *quite* settled down yet.
