Mendip DSO

What time of day will the DSO be done? I don't want to keep retuning all
day. Any ideas? What will be the signs that it has happened?

No analogue *on BBC2*. Full analogue switch-off comes a fortnight later
on 7 April.

Past changes (new channels etc.) have tended to happen around
lunch-time-ish, but if Hugh is really keen not to miss a second of day-time
tv on the two switch-over days, then constant retuning is indeed the answer
;-) .

But not I see in black and white. Are the shades of grey symbolic?

When Wenvoe started switchover (3rd March), it was the ITV analogue
channel that went off air (replaced by the new BBC MUX). ITV was
switched to the previous BBC2 analogue channel so we now have to press
2 to select it. This happened on both the main transmitter and our
local relay - I don't know if all relays were the same.

I'd switched to analogue 2 to see if anything was happening and at
first thought I'd got the date wrong. It took a moment to notice that
GMTV was on there.

You could look at which channel is assigned for the BBC MUX post-
switchover at Mendip and figure out which analogue program will go
off. Easier just to check them all on the day though. Once you see one
go, wait a while (an hour?), then rescan.

So far as I can see, anyone served only by a relay is going to lose
ITV and Channel 4 completely when DSO is complete until they rescan
and I know lots of people who need help with this. I'm surprised there
haven't been many very vocal complaints in areas that have already
switched.

You need to perform two rescans. One, on the first DSO day, I'd suggest
about 6pm on the evening after the first overnight shutdown. The second
at 6pm on the evening after the second overnight shutdown.

Yes, the signals will probably be up running by 6am from the main
stations, but much later for some relays. Read the link I posted in this
thread, it explains everything, the timings, and what moves where etc.

Are you not permitted to retune your button 3 to the new ITV channel?
