Price Drop TV

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.

Yes I have the same problem. But I get a message on this channel that
pricedrop has moved and I should do a re scan. I have done 6 times but it's
still there. I have it in the proper location too where it works.

Sometimes when they move a channel they leave the channel
it used to be on just to let people know its been moved. You'll
notice in time that the channel will either be deleted or just have
another channel put in its place.

Yes, they are keeping the old transmission there with the caption,
otherwise anyone who has not re-scanned yet, knows to.

AIUI its place will be taken on Mux 2 by ITV-3

Blackhill transmitter doesn't seem to be broadcasting the new price-drop.tv.
To be quite honest, i think it's pish we have to put up with 4 shopping
channels at the moment; i accept one or two MAX could be acceptable, but i
think it's crap we miss out on potential channels (be it anything else
except teleshopping) just because we've got gash and guff on, such as 'ideal
world' - i hope nobody actually purchases the crap they sell.

Mux A, Ch. 24.

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.

Apparently ''Price Drop TV' and some other Mux A channels have been
suffering from a nationwide multiplex problem which NTL (currently 17:15hrs
03/10) confirm has "gone away".....Unless anyone knows differently that is.

I thought you were the expert on transmitters and reception ;-)

Price Drop TV Picture and sound are normal and stable.(Rowridge)

It appears on ch 30, so that is Mux A.

I don't know the number allocated previously, but my OnDigital Nokia that
hasn't been rescanned gives it as Ch 24 where there is a black screen with
white text message telling me to rescan to get Price Drop there.

On my Philips DTR 1500 (On auto update) it now appears as channel number
800. ?

Only if I know the answer :-/

Thanks for that. Still breaking up here on Hannington (while everything else on Mux A
is steady as a rock). I do notice that the bit rate seems ludicrously low, and I assume
it's also stat muxed, so perhaps my box is having trouble tracking it ?

Will we notice any difference?

I must admit I do watch it sometimes out of a sort of horrible
fascination.

It amazes me that the salespeople manage to spout such complete crap
for such long periods. It must be quite a skill. Some seem better than
others at it, though I don't particularly think that that is an
accolade :-)
