ITV(1) channel 3 or ITV3?
If you mean ITV1 then can you get ITV1 HD and ITV1 +1 hour?
ITV3 has at last become a national channel and is now broadcasted from all Transmitters and relays. (About a week ago)
ITV3 EPG/channel number is channel 788 (The last channel in the list, under the radio channels)
I should imagine that the EPG number will move somewhere between ITV2 and ITV4 in the future.

Sewing Quarter has been added to one of the public multiplexes.
I am always happy when we get a new channel, but...
What a waste of bandwidth, as the channel says is is on air from 8am to 4pm but some days closes down at mid-day.
So if you work or go to school, you won't see any programs.
(Sky satellite version is on air all day)
Also the quality of the programs are not very good.
Why don't they share this channel like CBeebies and BBC4.
They could also share Film4 with cITV before 11am.
Here is my list of channels that I think would be better, on the limited number of Freeview Light channels:
4seven, 5 Star, 5 USA,
Dave, Pick (Sky 3), CBS Action. CBS Drama, CBS Reality, Horror Channel,...
What channel do you think should replace this waste of space?

Why 'o why have they got the Sewing Quarter on Freeview Light.
This channel is off air before 8am and off air after 4pm.
Most people that work or go to school are out from 8am to 4pm.
This channel is using bandwidth for 24 hours.
(Not a digital caption when off, like BBC 4)
And as for the program quality.....
it's less entertaining than channel 100.
See sewingquarter.com
Please Ofcom move this rubbish to the full Freeview transmitters only or just remove it.
And replace it with somthing better.
EG. Pick, Dave, Yesterday, Drama, CBS action, Movies4Men, Tru movies, Sky news, ...

Sound OK, but no vision or vision breaking up on the H.D. channels and Film Four +1 (PSB3)
Haywards Heath relay, from or before 5:15pm and still not working at 6:45pm
PSB1 and PSB2 ok.
Don't know if problem is the Haywards Heath relay or Heathfield transmitter.

David Sharpe, Les, Lynne Murray.
Looking at the chart above you could lose some channels, but if you can get BBC1 then you can get them all.
In 1998 the 4 channels where using C49 to C67.
You could receive them with a type C/D, E or wideband aerial.
Today this transmitter used C40 to C47.
So if you are still using a C/D aerial then you would miss some channels and need to upgrade your aerial.
If you can get the BBC channels on C40 then I expect you can get them all with your current aerial.
The local multiplex seams to have been removed, if it ever existed.

I see that they have moved Sewing Quarter from channel 73 to 791 today.
Still on multiplex P.S.B. 2.
Are they doing this because it's going to move away from a PSB multiplex?
Will we get a 24 hour channel with quality programs in it's place?

Note: On 10/01/2019 Film4+1 was moved from BBCB/PSB3 to MuxD3+D4/PSB2
This means that all users can now receiver Film4+1, even if their TV can not decode the High-Definition channels.
Room was made by removing the Sewing Quart channel from PSB2.

ITV3 EPG is on channel 788 and not channel 10 as stated above.
