I'd repeat Finn Ellebaek Nielsen's comment, I am now getting 10-12 copies of notifications. The first was the "Much needed updates have been done". I suspect your email address database needs de-duplicating.

The channel allocation table on this page, as of today, is slightly wrong - com7 and com8 certainly aren't on C33 & C34 any more, they're only on C55 & C56, which as we know will be reallocated for 5G in a year's time. I guess that means there's no point my mum, who has lost BBC4 HD since the last shuffle, so presumably has a group A or K aerial, getting a broadband one.
But do we have any clearer idea when the next switchover shuffles - described in Rebuilding Freeview High Definition from 2019 onwards | free and easy - will be happening? And is it likely that BBC4 HD will reappear on one of the other commercial muxes (SDN, ArqA, ArqB) before presumably finally settling on one of the PSB muxes when they have their final switchover to DVB-T2?

Thanks MikeP. I don't suppose you have any more insight into the other half of my query re future channel shuffling and DVB-T2 switchover?

StevensOnln1: I bet that only applies if you lose access to standard definition public service transmissions, so PSB1 & PSB2, not any of the COM muxes. That's certainly true of the offer to install free-to-air satellite if a suitable aerial can't be fitted.
