The multiplex and programme list errors have not been corrected for a while. The most obvious is that LOX is actually on channel 29 (538 MHz), not as shown on channel 51. And some programmes shown do not exist or have moved (?). Any chance the data can be corrected?

Just doing a manual re-tune on my Humax box here in Swindon (has to be manual to avoid confusion with Mendip Tx) and surprised I could not find the That's Oxford programme on LOX CH51.
Checked on my TV which was auto re-tuned and found that LOX is on CH29 (538Mhz)
Then I remembered that this change was done probably over a year ago.
This site needs to be updated.

Does anyone know what caused total loss of ALL channels on Oxford transmitter this morning breakfast time?
Came back after about an hour or so. I thought it was my aerial installation at first or the pre-amp but thankfully I can get just one programme from the Mendip transmitter so I knew the problem must be related to the Oxford site.
Never seen a transmitter site go off on all its 120+ programmes before.

What a mess this new itv retune has been.
Around lunch time yesterday my Humax digi box was forced into a retune. The original CH 60 was replaced with CH 54 which gives local news from Bristol instead of Oxford etc and the HD equivalent is now the same presenters but presenting news from Kent and Surrey! The retune is on CH 57 . The signal strength suggest this being broadcast from Oxford .
The good news is that I can retune to the original multiplexes to get the correct local programmes.
I should add that I am not picking up the Mendip transmission on the back of the beam as the front to back ratio is quite good.
