Well mine's updated, and now includes a placeholder for ITV4 on ch30. Not sure it's much of an improvement really, things are still all over the place.

EDIT: Oh, and a random "8" on channel 8. Not sure what that's meant to be.

Updated here on Crystal Palace too - though no placeholder for ITV4 here. No '8' either but price-drop tv did decide to call itself '--TOONAMI-'. Bizarre. Though a rescan corrected the name.

I'm on Crystal Palace and I've got the ITV4 placeholder.

It may be that your box doesn't show LCNs which don't have a video stream or MHEG attached to them. The same thing happened when the More4 placeholder first appeared, prior to the tests commencing.

I'm in Sheffield, and got a reminder to re-scan through E4 (this was different to the usual More4 message that appears). I have got a channel '8' too, with ITV4 at 30. Still can't understand why E4+1 can't be on channel 15. It's nice that the BBCi channels are nicely hidden on 300-303.

ITV3 could have gone to Channel 8 perhaps, leaving Channel 10 for ITV 4. With ITV still out on a limb at Channel 30 shows little point in this shake-up.
Will ITV News and Men & Motors remain on Freeview now ITV 4 is allocated to 30?

That may well be right - whilst I'm down here in London I'm relying on Nebula's DigiTV to keep me in television. Can't find an option to change it but I'm not too fussed.

It is (or will be) on channel 30 everywhere.

I've just done a re-scan, and the EPG has updated, but I am now missing a few channels, namely ABC1 and Five. Any ideas?

oh well. nothing yet. although I wouldn't have been surprised if we didn't even get the reshuffle going by the previous track record of things on selkirk.

oh and E4 is still tagged as encrypted. what a surprise.
