Chekhov   488 #1 Posted June 23, 2022 If you get your Freeview TV signal from Sheffield (Crosspool) transmitter this does not apply to you because MUX7 was switched off there in Feb 2020.  For those on Emley Moor or Belmont MUX7 will be switching off on the 30th June. To be fair is was mainly just rather esoteric HD channels and always only a temporary MUX, but it is finally going, it's sister MUX (MUX8) was sw off in June 2020.  According to : https://www.freeview.co.uk/help/service-updates/channel-changes-closures-freeview-june-2022 the following programmes will be switched to one of the other MUXES :  Together TV That’s TV (UK) Quest Red +1 BBC FOUR HD CBeebies HD  But these will only be available in standard Definition from now on :  Freesports CBS Justice More4+1 PBS America+1 Forces TV BBC News HD QVC HD QVC Beauty HD Quest HD  The big surprise there is BBC News will, apparently, no longer be available in HD, I predict complaints about that.  More info here.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HallamGirl   43 #4 Posted June 24, 2022 Due to opening up the frequency spectrum they use for 5G, it's been on the cards for a few years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A shame because it shows some good old stuff.  I think part of the problem is that on Virgin Media its tucked away way up in the channel 200s, when it ideally needs to be near Dave, UK Gold, Yesterday & Drama if its offering similar content.

It must be stressed MUX7 and MUX8 (the latter turned off in Jun 2020) have only ever been temporary MUXES (with relatively low numbers of viewers), awaiting switch off so the frequencies can be used for mobile use. There are no plans so switch off the main MUXES (1 to 6), they should continue to be transmitted until at least 2030. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

fools   447 #9 Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks HehasRisen,  came across that site before, It didn't seem 100% upto date (eg 113 RT HD is listed) and the cluttered layout/garish colours put me off a bit. But it's close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
