Ah, another website suggested a power increase from 1.1kW to 2.2kW. Was ArqB running at 64 QAM before last night? Can't find anywhere that confirms.
Either way, an awful lot of people are having trouble with channel 63 that were ok at channel 50.

KMJ,
You are correct about the 100kW, which should fix a lot of issues, but in the meantime, plenty of people with wideband aerials that could pick up ch50 yesterday, and the ultra low power mux from Sudbury B until DSO2 (ch 68) now can't pick up 63 very well. All very strange, but I can't find a way to raise the issue with Arqiva.

Sorry, Russ, you are in the same boats as loads of us. I am in Wivenhoe with a wideband aerial that used to get the low powered ITV mux before DSO, but now ArqB is lousy, even though it is meant to be double the (still low) power.
Can't find out how to tell Arqiva.

KMJ,
Very good points. A lot of the places mentioned are south & south east of Sudbury. I wonder if there is a null in that direction on this interim frequency, maybe to protect the continent.

Another Wivenhoe household here. Channels from 50 were perfect. Channels on 63 break up about as often as the old low power ITV mux from Sudbury B. Wideband aerial and all that.
The power is meant to have doubled compared to channel 50 as well.
As this appears to be fairly widespread, I wonder if something is not right with the new setup.
