SWMBO, who watches a lot more TV than I do, reports that she has been
seeing warnings recently about another re-tune being needed this week.

This one is designed to confuse the elderly. having got them all used to the
channel numbers, they will now all be changed around on Wednesday. What it
does not say is what happens if you don't do it? also, surely in this day
and age we ought to be able to allocate whatever number we like to whichever
channel we like?

The Smart talk seems not to have any way of doing this so all of us who
have got the hang of dialling in the numbers will now find that what was on
20 is now on 17 etc, all for the hopes of someone who has a tidy mind and
wants to put like channels together. This will of course all fall apart the
next time a channel is dead and a new one is inserted which is different to
the old one.

Spellchecker changed my name again I see.
Is 47 changing? after all it was picked presumably for its name agreeing
with its number, so if they ever change it to say, 69 it could have a whole
new meaning!

Yes, national retune, Wednesday am, EPG reshuffle.


As a matter of interest, how do punters find out about these things? When a
transmitter such as Bilsdale has its DSO, there is loads of publicity:
adverts on hoardings in the street, leaflets to all affected houses etc. But
national retunes for changes in EPG number seem not to be publicised at all,
and you need to keep checking industry forums to find out that they are
imminent. Shame they couldn't have combined the EPG renumbering with the
first (or second) DSO for Bilsdale :-(

Why are they changing the EPG numbers? I wonder if HDD recorders, Windows
Media Centre, etc, will have the intelligence to preserve existing
recordings that have already been set: will an instruction to record on
Yesterday on 12 be modified to one to record at the same date/time but now
on 19?

I suspect I'll find that the Panasonic PVR will have forgotten its entire list
of programmes to be recorded, leaving a list with only the dates and times, no
programme titles and blank spaces for the channels, so I'll have to do a bit of
detective work, retune and enter the whole lot again.

What a mess. Why couldn't DMOL and their predecessors who allocated LCNs do
the job once and do it right, instead of doing it piecemeal over the years?

Does anyone go through the channels sequentially until they find the one
they want, instead of keying the digits for the desired channel? In other
words, does Shopping Channel's argument for wanting a low LCN actually hold
water?

There are channels coming and going and channels being renamed all the
time.

If I can't remember the number of a channel I press the button that
displays the channel list. I can scroll through that until I see the one
I want. It's not necessary to go through the channels sequentially in
the sense of "tuning" to each one to see what it is. My Samsung TVs
display the channel list as a series of tables with 24 channels in each.

So do you believe the only option will be for every house then to get a
satellite dish with as many LNBs as they want devices connected to it - or
else to get cable or internet feed (and pay for the vast amount of data that
TV-over-internet will generate)?

Terrestrial TV has the advantage that it is reasonably unobtrusive: an
aerial on the roof is less noticeable on the wall of the house (why are
dishes rarely mounted on a chimney, clear of house walls etc?). It is also
fairly tolerant of alignment errors so it can be used while mobile (eg in a
caravan) without spending a long time aligning it at the satellite.

I broadly agree. However I didn't say it was necessarily a good idea to ditch
DTT in its present form, I'm just predicting what will happen to the UHF
broadcast bands, they will be sold to the 'Telcos'.

Ofcom and their cohorts can only think in terms of 'bits per hertz'.

Comparing DVB-T* with 4G LTE etc, it's no contest.

However, if you'd said to me 10 years ago that I'd have a 29 Mb/s internet
feed by 2010, when at the time BT said my line couldn't even support 512k, and
in 2011 I'd be watching 720p HD TV programmes on it, I'd have called you mad.

Things have changed, and improved, and will continue to do so.

Because AIUI the broadcasters enter the post DSO PIDs etc into the mux
info tables about 24 to 36 hours *before* DSO occurs, so more advanced
receivers are not totally surprised when everything changes. I assume
the Humax flags this in the form of its own internally generated caption.

That's different to the MHEG pop up captions, that are transmitted by
the broadcasters. I've not seen any of those so far (on my receivers
that accept MHEG gunk)

No sign of any such 'change' here. It has been stuck at circa 2 mbps for

My old house was about 200 yards from the local exchange and I'm sure the
cables took a fairly direct route. I could get 8 Mbps without any problem.
At my new house I can get about 4-6 Mbps. My parents' holiday cottage, out
in the middle of nowhere used to get a fairly respectable 3-4 Mbps despite
being several miles from the exchange, though I noticed when we were there
the other week that the speed had dropped to 0.5-1 Mbps :-( Mind you, this
is streets ahead of dial-up which was the only option until a few years ago
when BT installed new lines to the village.

All these are the sync speed reported by the router; the typical throughput
as reported by speedtest.net is a bit lower (eg around 7 Mbps on my line
with 8 Mbps sync).

All these lines are with PlusNet for internet, though with BT or TalkTalk
for phone rather than using a dedicated PlusNet phone line.

Well, to be fair, we were one of the first towns in the UK to have VDSL/FTTC,
(not least because all the posh homes are five miles from the exchange).

How did it know for that? I don't have a PVR, so I have no experience
of their ESP abilities.

Doesn't have a PVR!?
Burn the witch, burn them now!

I'm a Luddite. I have a Sony Walkman, but no iPod/Pad. I don't need
them.
The last I heard, my brother still didn't have a TV set. And he is old
enough to have retired.
I'm not, but I have done so anyway.

Luddites are fine, it's Luddites without PVRs that have to be burnt.

All these are the sync speed reported by the router; the typical
throughput as reported by speedtest.net is a bit lower (eg around 7
Mbps on my line with 8 Mbps sync).


I check every now and then using the iplayer 'diagnostics' page as that is
the route and server that are most relevant from my POV. I usually get a
tad over 2 megs.

Slainte,

Just did that, but don't understand the jargon of what it showed - apart

You need to move to a 'not as nice as you're in now' area I suspect :-(
