[tunefix-update] Automated Freeview channel updates

This service on 788 is only temporary.

For what purpose is it temporary? What are the long term objectives?

To test it? When testing a service it is normally hidden. This time it's not hidden.

It's obviously still on test

No.

Thanks. I meant what I could do but from your description I take it that would also be a no.

It will become the real ITV3 when they are happy with it.

1.0.37:

Mux. moves for 700 MHz clearance at:

Sutton Coldfield (COM7, COM8 and Local)
Winter Hill (COM6, COM7 and COM8)​

Add Pick+1
Remove YourTV+1​

 

[Ezra Pound]

In the Sutton Coldfield area they have moved the Local Mux. out of the 700MHz and COMs 7 & 8 into the 700MHz, obviously only stage 1 in the bigger plan

Can you still receive the local mux from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter? It was supposed to have moved from 51 to 48 but I can't pick it up at all now here in Worcs. They may have dropped the power or changed the transmission mode. It is hard to find reliable information.

Yes I can still get 'Local' although I am closer to the transmitter than you are, here are the before (Top) and After (Bottom) Diagnostics :-

On searching other threads, this looks like the issue I have, which is stopping RS from working correctly on just the one box where I was forced to do a manual retune (see RS thread). Boxes where tunefix-update took care of things show "Anglia" for all the muxes.

prpr: was there something coded into a tunefix-update which "corrected" the regions as part of the retune? If so, can it be forced, perhaps as part of tunefix to make the regions consistent after a manual retune?

No. It just carries on as the legacy region rather than the latest "Com78 National".

No. You need to refer your RS query to af123. I just retuned one of my HDRs and it shows up OK in RS.

Thanks prpr. That must mean that the mux was renamed by the broadcaster after tunefix-update did its stuff.

I will wait for advice from af123. In the meantime I have deleted the device from RS and (after a couple of hours) re-registered.

Edit: after waiting another couple of hours RS EBP just showing channels on COM 78, National region.

There's a mini auto-update built into tunefix-update now, just for updating itself.

Would it be possible to get the duplicate ITV3 channel on lcn 788 via tunefix-update? It is in higher def than the main channel.

May confuse scheduling though, so may need more than simply being available.

Thank you for your efforts with tunefix. It has saved much frustration with this continuous fudge of channels, much appreciated.
