Roger: It may well be the same ongoing work, the Crystal Palace transmitter tower is 60+ years old and probably requires extensive ongoing maintenance to ensure it continues to operate in a safe condition. The transmitter engineering posts come from an automated feed provided by BBC Engineering. This is an unofficial help site and unfortunately nobody here has any further information regarding what works are taking place or when they are expected to be completed.

nick horrex: It's down to money. Broadcasting a channel on Freeview costs millions of pounds a year, whereas streaming a channel via the internet costs a fraction of that and is a more affordable way for smaller channels to reach relatively low numbers of viewers.

Roger: Arqiva are paid by the broadcasters and multiplex operators, who probably do have access to more detailed information. Arqiva are not generally a public facing organisation and have no obligation to provide information to anyone other than their paying clients.

Simon McCurdy: There has been planned engineering work affecting the Winter Hill transmitter over the last few weeks, so it may just be that the signal strength has been reduced slightly too low to be receivable while the work is taking place. Unfortunately they never say what the work involves or when it is due to be completed.

Nicholas Anderson: This page lists TV channels and radio stations available on free to air TV platforms. As you've previously been told, community radio stations are listed in the analogue radio pages, as none of them are broadcast on TV platforms.

nick horrex: Streaming channels in the 260-299 range broadcast a portal on one of the Freeview multiplexes, which gives the TV the URL (address) to connect to and play the stream. The TV needs an internet connection, it doesn't need to be linked to a PC or laptop.

Greysteel Viewer: The transmitter engineering posts come from an automated feed provided by BBC Engineering. It may involve work taking place on the tower itself or the transmitter equipment, but could be due to other things too. Unfortunately they don't provide any further details.

William Wood: Talking Pictures is carried on the ArqB/COM6 multiplex, whis broadcast on UHF channel 39+ from Sutton Coldfield. Most receivers have a manual tuning option in the menu somewhere, let us know the make and model if you can't find it.

Gerry Tivers: ITV1 HD has not yet been fully regionalised on Freeview, this has been said elsewhere to be due to ITV waiting for existing contracts to expire. ITV1 HD is broadcast on the PSB3 multiplex alongside BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD, Channel 4 HD, Channel 5 HD and a few others. ITV1 SD is broadcast on the PSB2 multiples alongside Channel 4 SD, Channel 5 SD, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITV Be, E4, More 4, Film 4, etc which is fully regionalised for both ITV1 and Channel 4.
