Is this work a precursor to Digital conversion on transmitters?

Cheers,

No. It's work on the ITV group of channels on existing digital
transmitters so that they can transmit more channels in their allotted
space.

Some welcome news. I've had it on good authority that a cure has apparently
been found today for the EPG data issues that many have reported in recent
weeks since the re-introduction of ITV News Channel. Hoorah, just in time
for the Mux 2 work in my neck of the woods tomorrow. :-)

You are likely to see short breaks and glitches on Mux 2 channels during
the course of the days work. It is hoped that work will be completed by
approximately 5pm.

Hi aa

You seem to know a lot about ITV, I think I am on Winter Hill but could
possibly being an non techie on such matters be pointing the other way to
Mendip? I am very high up!

ITV/s on Mux 2?? has disappeared, although signal strength is ok, is this
the work ongoing or has the Philips STB on the wane. Should I be worried?

TIA

Hi there. Where abouts are you? I have to head off for lunch right now, but
post back your situation and a brief description about your aerial setup and
I and I'm sure others, will try to help.

Hi,

I am in Liverpool, top floor of house on a hill. No sense of direction so
could be Winterhill or Mendip.

You will laugh at my aerial set up though, I use a little aerial from Argos
with a booster sitting on top of the wardrobe laughing yet Went through a
whole afternoon rigging up a big aerial in the loft and believe me, nothing
works are good as this little aerial. Could, up to Saturday get all the digi
channels and TUTV, since E4 changed onto Freeview they had actually
improved! The only glitch is sometimes get break up from electrical
interference, which I believe an inline attenuator could fix?

Since it has all happened since Saturday I am more inclined to believe it
some sort of transmitter problem

Are you still laughing at the aerial? hey if it works it works, call me
Heath Robinson ;0)

I don't believe it would be possible for you to get any signal from
Mendip, it's over 100 miles south of you.
