Does anyone else here watch NYX on Freeview 289?
On both of my TV's, a 2013 Samsung and a 2019 Sony, the EPG for this channel is 1 hour behind - eg a programme that started at 17:00 is shown in the EPG as beginning at 18:00.
As far as I can tell, all other channels' EPGs are in sync.
Does anyone else see this ..read more

The BBC has decided to publish a short article about the Crystal Palace Transmitter with some footage from the past. A few questionable statements (i'm sure Croydon didn't stop all TV broadcasts in 1986 given Channel 5 arrived a decade later) but a nice find.

I have a Now TV box that I haven't used for years. Yesterday I plugged it in, did a software update and rescanned all the channels.
It isn't getting any HD channels. It did before even getting COM 8 when that existed.
Now it won't get BBCB from Crystal Palace even though this appears to be the same power as BBCA and D3+4.
Unless there is local interference or BBCB has a different tx pattern, it should be able to pick up BBCB.
My question is, has anything changed since I last had this box on, about four years ago, with the parameters of HD on Freeview that this box won't be able to decode ..read more

What order should Freeview channels be in?
On my TV I have the following
1 - BBC one HD
2 - BBC two HD
3 - ITV1
4 - CH4
5 - CH5
101 - BBC one
102 - BBC two
103 - ITV1 HD
104 - CH4 HD
105 - CH5HD
It just feels wrong having BBC 1 and 2 hd on 1 and 2 and itv. CH4 and ch5 on 103, 104 and 105 but I have no way of reordering them
I've tried googling but got even more confused because some websites show BBC 1 and 2 hd on 1 and 2 and some on 101 and 102. So where should they actually be and is there anything I can do about it ..read more

Our main TV is Freeview Play and is set to automatically upload new channels as and when they appear.
In the past two or three weeks there have been numerous times, when turning on the TV, that a banner appears informing us that there have been new channels added. This means that I have to then manually update both the kitchen TV and the HDD recorder, to ensure that the channel names/numbers are in sync.
What on earth are all these 'new channels'? I have yet to find something that hasn't always been there, although occasionally something that we watch on one of the minor channels is now on a ..read more
