Like the big Channel 5 re-tune many years ago - make sure none of your boxes are set to use C29 (or adjacent) for video out analogue links to a TV.

The latest channel listing is not showing CBS Action and the Horror Channel do you know what MUX they are on? I need it so I can plan my recordings as the system I use can record everything from a single MUX.
Thanks

Stephen: Although not being listed as yet on the Mux programme list at the top of this page , these two programmes (CBS 64 / Horror 70) are broadcast on Mux6, which on Oxford is Mux C55/ 746mhz.
You will of course have to carry out a retune, if not already having done so.

Many thanks. I though that Mux 6 was likely but some of the new ones have popped up on 7.

Stephen: Well, you will certainly be able to record those two programmes from the same Mux channel, but though if others have popped up on COM7, then whatever you are using must be capable of receiving T2 (HD) transmissions.
Undermentioned is a link for the latest update on programme LCN numbers / Muxes used on applicable to the Oxford transmitter.

I note the EPG is now showing BT Showcase at 75 Comm 7 C31, is this going to be free as "teaser" for their paid for services?

I note that BT Showcase following yesterdays changes has moved to 59 but remains on com 7 does that mean there is space on com 6 or have other channels been able to adjust their on air times? There is currently a missmatch between the EPG for Showcase and the channel caption, the later says programmes return at 3am where as the EPG just says "This is BT Showcase" with no programme information.
The EPG shows Viva as still available having moved to 74 though only from 9 am to 11 am there being a matching off air period for Spike, I thought the publicity said that Viva was leaving Freeview altogether.
