Things will change next week due to Mux frequency/channels shifting - but the COM muxes have a planned "power-up" event next year
18 Apr 12
which surely means that some people will have to wait till then...

There wasn't anything supposed to happen to Mux2 on C68 at DSO1, and from here it seems to be exactly same a before @75-80% signal strength (BBC mux @98%). It was always the weakest channel and was better before any DSO works at Beckley
So its either the weather, DSO changes elsewhere or Freeview box incompatibility C68 still on 2K mode till next week).

As per my reply to same post in other thread - nothings been done to that Mux yet.
Sure your Sony has latest firmware and is not confused by coming across an 8k mode mux while scanning before getting to C68?
There will be upset Sony idtv users next week when they find there TVs can't received analogue or digital tv without an extra box...

Turning off the ITV mix on C68 revealed some of its former problems - my box still saw 10-20% noise signal on that channel, not sure what maybe Midhurst on wrong polarization?
I have a bit of a problem with the new received signal strengths - the BBC A/PSB1 mux on C53+ has a signal strength on my Toppy almost double any other mux. If I use a variable attenuator to get it off 100% nothing else is watchable, and with the smallest attenuator I have 3dB (donated by NTL) I start to lose quality on PSB2 (ITV etc) on C60.
Anyone else see this, maybe its my aerial - originally aligned for best quality on weakest Analogue channel or C68, so maybe misaligned to avoid interference!

Then head down to Argos or out to Tesco and choose a new box from 17.99 before they sell out! (OX13PJ)

Just noticed on a Technika HD box that ArqA and ArqB on C55 and C59 are using 3/4 FEC compared to all others using 2/3 FEC. This is correct according to digitalUK until COM power up when ArqB comes in line with the others. My understanding is that FEC 3/4 has less error correction than 2/3 (25% vs 33%) to squeeze more data out of the link.
Technika signal strength Nos on same aerial connection quite different than Toppy look more like dB than percent, but trend the same BBC on C53 significant stronger than others C60 same as C55 (should be x8 or 9dB stronger) C59 weakest, but everything reported as 95% quality - which I suspect is the maximum (perfect picture).
C53 now so strong single can receive good quality signal on internal loop antenna on ground floor opposite side of house to transmitter!

To keep my Toppy happy I had to manually delete the ones received from the mux on Ch 52 and kept the ones on the new 8k mux on Ch 53.
Guess this could confuse other boxes for the next couple of weeks?
