When I checked this site at 3.15 today the comment was to the effect that there were no problems and no work was taking place, leaving me to believe that the lack of picture was my problem. Now I find, belatedly, that BBC was off. VERY poor service. I even missed watching and recording "Moving On". So what am I supposed to do about this. At least let us know what is happening IN ADVANCE>

Paul Brookes: Why are you complaining to us? The transmitter has nothing to do with this site, it just passes on info - blame Aquiva.

It seems I asked a question at the wrong place last time. If no-one can answer this, could someone please tell me where I can get an answer? I can watch CBS drama "live" but am unable to record it as the TV guide says "no information".

I suspect it may be related to whatever means of recording you are using. Please could you tell us what the make and model of the equipment is?

Think MikeP may be right, I am on Brierley Hill transmitter and have just tried to record CBS Drama and it worked fine, so maybe your equipment?

Take 2, I would try and record from CBS Drama now, its been mentioned on another website that CBS Drama had EPG problems over the last week, without EPG data, I doubt if your box would record.
From what I read the fault is now cleared.

Thank you to Stuart for the info on CBS drama EPG faults. Things are fine now. Now, can anyone tell me why, having retuned my box last Thursday, I now have to do it again, according to info on the TV, on Wednesday of this week?

Paul Brookes: According to Digital UK there are frequency changes taking place at the Brierley Hill transmitter on 7th March which will see all multiplexes except COM6 move to new frequencies.

Thanks, Stevens. Still seems a bit crazy to have to retune twice in 6 days. I thought digital was going to "solve all"

Paul Brookes: Frequency changes have nothing to do with being digital. It is down to the dates set by the frequency planners for changes to take place, which have to be co-ordinated across the entire transmitter network as well as with the availability of enough engineers to make the required changes at each transmitter.
