Any hidden "test channels" on DTT right now?

All I can see is 610, which appears to be a HD test channel, Prime program guide, but no picture or sound.

Any idea what time the changes will happen?

Gordy7:

'Plus 1' channels are not available as live streams, so if you're streaming Freeview channels on a SmartVU, eden+1 and the 'Plus 1' channel movements don't apply.

Just on this - we have a couple of SmartVU devices and when we first got them I noticed that we don't get HGTV on either of them. I'm not sure if any other channels are also missing as we generally stick to the main ones, however the wife was annoyed at losing HGTV when we switched from satellite SD (previously our only option).

Is this just an 'us' issue, or does everyone using SmartVU also miss out on some channels?

I just ran a scan from Wharite and as at 01:11 The Breeze TV, The Edge TV and ChoiceTV channels have all lost their names and are now [0517], [0515] and [057a] respectively. You would not be able to tune them in on a "Freeview compatible" device, although I suspect that if they are already tuned in they would still work. The four placeholder channels on the Kordia 2 mux (530 MHz) are all still there unchanged as they have been for most of this month. When I tried to tune them a few days ago there was nothing being broadcast. They are currently named [05dd], [05e0], [05e1] and [05e5].

It seems Eden (I think it was Eden) is still parked on 800 in canty

Yet another retune when I get home since Samsung can't update existing.

It seems today FM has also taken over the airwaves. Coinciding it's launch to today also. Using their news snippets on most the radio stations.

Comprises of most the primetime discovery staff, call them departures.
Tova, Richardson, smalley

I'm going to miss the TV stations occasionally.

Both Rush and Eden were available this morning via my VTV without me doing anything. My SmartVU 7070...set up on a non smart tv, nothing. Did a satellite scan, nothing, in fact I now appear to have less channels. Going back to fiddle with it again. Will try it first with the old dish satellite receiver to see if it has something to do with the sat dish LNB. Hope someone has found a fix.

VTV versions of both will be SD I presume. I hope Rush stays as HD on terrestrial. I don't watch SD channels anyway.

Found the problem on the SmartVU 7070 and no wonder it wasn’t obvious.

- Eden shows up as three+1 on the on screen banner.

- Rush shows as The Breeze.

The TV guide and banner has not been changed to match the channels.

Here’s a shot of the TV Guide on the SmartVU. The programmes are correct, the channel labels are wrong. See 8 and 14. However the picture in picture shows as 'On now eden.'
Who fixes this stuff?
