KMJ,Derby: the above dates are from the Digital UK master PDF. Looks like I might have to scrape again for new dates...

OK, they have changed the http://www.digitaluk.co.u….pdf file - it's V2 now. I have added in the changes noted.

I couldn't see any mention of St Brelades and St Helier on Jersey, both of which need to free up Ch 62. Any idea of the details on these sites?

Tim F: For some reason the auto update on here didn't work for those transmitters. I have manually fixed the database to reflect the correct values.

Ian: Same reason as for switchover. The transmitter groups are more than somewhat interdependent - many changes are transmitters moving from channels that are not being cleared, to allow other transmitters a clear space to move into. Arqiva want to avoid having to recruit and train a large number of engineers for a single one-off event. Digital UK want to keep the volume of support calls down to a manageable level.

In the channel changes listed, some of the multiplexes have a + or - after the number eg 50+ or 49- . What do these mean?
