    BBC 4 HD, BBC News HD, Cbeebies HD and Aljazeera HD are all on the new mux COM 7. COM 7 is not yet set-up on Hannington or quite a few other transmitters either, due by summer 2014.

    Also the power output of the mux is much lower than major channels, so even if it comes on to your transmitter, you still may not be able to get them if you are a fair way from the transmitter itself.

    By doing a manual tune I managed to get Crystal Palace mux added on CH 33, BBC News HD and BBC4 HD have now joined the list on the correct channel numbers albeit at 'medium' signal strength. All my other channels are manually tuned to Hannington with good signal. Per some Freeview web pages is seems COM7 will not be on Hannington till next year.

    Deleted old SD timers and reset the recorder so Borgen in HD!

    Thanks OP for the reminder.

    My Virgin box turned itself off the other day (like off off, not just on standby like it usually is), I wonder if it was getting some sort of update for these channels. I'm very pleased to finally be able to get BBC3 and 4 in HD,
