Briantist: digitaluk.co.uk/manualretuning for my postcode MK130QG gives a very useful table of MUXES / Frequencies for current status and next FOUR changes requiring a retune. Sandy Heath DSO is so complex!

Thanks: Lee and KMJ, that confirms why I can't rx that mux. CH 67 was borderline on MUX B before DSO, for some reason it is below the threshold now. I got a few broken images earlier, confirming it is there, seems I will have to wait until later in the year for that mux.I have a high power external aerial but is locally blocked by trees just coming into leaf.

I have noted that the power on CH67 seems to have crept up a bit in the last few days. I can now receive ARQ B MUX albeit a bit patchy at times. I would suggest that those who failed to get the MUX on 13th try another retune. You never know, it worked for me.

Mark: Sandy Heath Now has COM7/8 on low power and same frequencies as Oxford the adjacent TX. You may need a very directional aerial (LogPeriodic) to reject signals from Oxford or other sites. In Milton Keynes which is equidistant from Oxford and Sandy some people have lost 15 SD and 9 HD channels. Note also these SFN muxes are HD only so SD channels carried on these Muxes can only be received on a HD tuner TV. The LCNs affected are 55, 56, 67, 82, 84, 87, 97, 98, , 86, 88, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 205. Unprofessional planning but they are driving people to Satellite services.

Your table above shows Aquiva B on channel 48 from Wed 13th April 2011. It seems that it is on CH67 from today 13th. I beleive it is at 64QAM because yesterday I could receive the old BBC MUX B on CH67, today I cannot receive anything. Its seems they are parking ARQ B on 67 for a while according to digitaluk.co.uk
