Really? I've not heard that anywhere. Given the heavy promotion of Freeview with its HD capabilities and people being encouraged to change their hardware I can't believe this would be allowed to happen.

If you search on that site for an SE22 address it says "If you do not retune, you may not be able to view these channels"... and it lists some HD channels which would imply that IlonaM's tv aerial engineer was wrong, i.e. you can continue get HD channels on Freeview.

Here's hoping that he was wrong!!!

Two of the main eight freeview multiplexes broadcast from Crystal Palace, com7 and com8, are being moved from UHF channels 33 and 35 to channels 55 and 56. No change in quality of reception is predicted: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/main/trade/SE22+8HH/NA/0/NA. It's a smallish set of program channels involved, including the HD versions of BBC Four , News and CBeebies, and RT; there's a full list at https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace/PGSTART1770/irt666185. Your TV will probably tell you at the time that retuning is needed.

It seems that the change may result in a loss of those two HD multiplexes for some people with the wrong type of aerial. If so, you could be without all of these:

Com7: 56 5USA +1, 57 5Spike 1, 64 CBS Action +1, 67 CBS Drama, 82 Vintage TV, 84 Quest Red +1, 87 Keep It Country, 107 BBC News HD, 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, 109 Channel 4+1 HD, 110 4seven HD, 113 RT HD,

Com8: 55 5STAR+1, 86 More4 1, 95 Freesports, 96 Forces TV, 106 BBC Four HD, 115 BT Showcase HD (not free), 205 CBeebies HD, 40 Rocks and Co, 93 Together, 94 PBS America, 111 QVC HD, 112 QVC Beauty HD

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
