Is it new that there's no active video behind the "retune to 101 for
local news" banner? I thought they had mountain rescue, sheepdogs and jiving pensioners etc?

And now we're grandparents we may well find ourselves punching in 205 !
I presume most of the delay was in obtaining the equipment, and the
actual configuration took the expected length of time that it would have
done if they'd had the equipment when they anticipated.

We were looking after the grandchildren a few years ago and were very
grateful indeed for Cbeebies! But, to be fair, the real revelation
was Peppa Pig, which was obviously written with adults in mind too.
At one time I think I had almost 150 episodes recorded.
We all forget that Magic Roundabout was written for two ages -
youngsters and adults!

When I saw the thread title, I thought for a moment it was going to be an announcement that BBC had decided to abandon the broadcast of BBC Four HD
and CBeebies HD on COM3.
But they've done it. Not quite as seamless a handover from COM7 to PSB3 as
it should have been and as they'd have liked, but they've got there. Well done to the engineers for getting it going. I presume most of the delay
was in obtaining the equipment, and the actual configuration took the expected length of time that it would have done if they'd had the
equipment when they anticipated.
Maybe the news about it should have been handled better: if they'd said before the closure "we hoped to transfer BBC Four seamlessly from COM7 to PSB3 but we will not be able to do that because equipment has not yet arrived" and then kept people informed about the progress with expected in-service date (even if it slips) rather than a fairly meaningless
"soon".

Why? PSB3 is part of all Freeview Lite stations.
And note that PSB3 is now the ONLY HD mux on DTTV with the closure of
Com7.

Judith Chalmers was on Thames TV's Wish You Were Here, and consequently

I ewas reading this morning that Peppa Pig has now gone woke.

As yet I've not actually seen BBC Four HD reappear here, and my Tv hasn't promted a re-scan as it usually does when a channel comes/goes/moves. The
106 here mentions BBC Four (no HD). Hasn't shown the 'back soon' either. So this may be 'in transit' in some way or my TV is confused by the deckchair suffling that's been going on.
I'll check again today. Hope it reappears before the LNOTP!

I wondered how the statmuxers would cope with identical versions the
news special on BBC1/BBC2/BBC3 and BBC4, but the latter two have banners saying tune to BBC1 for a major news story.

I don't know how "statmuxing" works, but I would have thought if it was clever it could see that the channels are showing the same stuff and just transmit one channel and duplicate it for the others.

I wonder if you need to get your TV to do an explicit scan.
Maybe the IDs have changed from the ones that were initially quoted when
BBC Four HD was first added to the PSB3 list.
Would all transmitters (main and relay) have started to transmit BBC
Four HD at the same time a few days ago, or could there be a
transitional phase when the main transmitters have the video etc streams
but the Freeview Lite transmitters don't yet?

The definition of a relay is one that re-transmits the main.
The conclusion is obvious.
No HD last night. So I forced a scan this morning. Know more this evening.

OK. So if people had retuned when PSB3 first included BBC Four in the header tables, they should just be able to receive that channel when its video and audio streams started to be broadcast recently.

Ah, I wasn't sure whether there were any Freeview Lite transmitters that didn't receive off-air from a main transmitter, and which might in theory
not have got the BBC Four streams when the main transmitter started.
Clutching at straws to think of a reason for the problem that people were experiencing.

Maybe there are. I expect Mark knows. I don't.
Freeview Lite does not necessarily mean relay though.
