Can someone please explain the status of the MUX PSB3/BBCB, please? (See above). Is it transmitting at "Very low" or "Maximum" power? I don't see how it could be transmitting at both.

Yes, I'm definitely seeing fewer muxes right now: Just three on 490.0MHz, 537.8MHz and 578.2MHz.
I'm guessing this final switchover isn't someone hitting The Big Red Button...

Hmm, my tuning program is finding the following channels:
0x2005 0x2045: pmt_pid 0x0100 (null) -- ITV1 (running)
0x2005 0x2085: pmt_pid 0x0102 (null) -- ITV2 (running)
0x2005 0x20fa: pmt_pid 0x010e (null) -- More 4 (running)
0x2005 0x2100: pmt_pid 0x010b (null) -- E4 (running)
0x2005 0x21c3: pmt_pid 0x0112 (null) -- Rabbit (running)
0x2005 0x2104: pmt_pid 0x010c (null) -- Channel 4+1 (running)
0x2005 0x20c0: pmt_pid 0x0108 (null) -- Channel 4 (running)
0x2005 0x2181: pmt_pid 0x0120 (null) -- Gay Rabbit (running)
0x2005 0x20a9: pmt_pid 0x0122 (null) -- ITV1 +1 (running)
0x2005 0x2134: pmt_pid 0x0121 (null) -- Channel 5 (running)
So I think PSB2 must be active as well.

Here's the initial transponder information my scanner receives:
T 490000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE # London .
T 514000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE # London .
T 545833330 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM256 AUTO AUTO AUTO # London .
T 482000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE # London .
T 506000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE # London .
T 529833330 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE # London .
It doesn't quite match the numbers given above. For example, ArqB seems to be on 529.8MHz instead of 530.0MHz, and if I force it to scan 530.0MHz instead then it gives me everything on 529.8MHz anyway so that every channel is listed twice.

OK, thanks. The scan also indicates that SDN and ArqA have FEC of 3/4 instead of 2/3.

Maria, you're going to need to retune all your channels for your WinTV, exactly the same as for any other TV. How you should do this depends on the software that you are using, and if you're using Windows software then all I can suggest is that you read the manual.

Hmm, my channel scan has resulted in all my SDN channels having QPSK modulation?! I've got no idea how QPSK differs from 64QAM, but I still seem to get a picture.

I used to be able to watch FreeviewHD on my PC using a USB DVB-T2 device, but today I can find no signal on 554MHz. (In fact, I couldn't find anything a couple of days ago, either).
Is FreeviewHD still being transmitted, or has it been suspended until 18th April.
This is with the Crystal Palace transmitter.
