Who is stuck with analogue only (no Freeview)?

Yes - we are in deepest darkest Kent

An excellent site is this:
http://www.macfh.co.uk/JavaJive/AudioVi ... ulator.php

You can put the postcode in, then "find the nearest", "find the likeliest" (gives a choice of 10 for TN13) transmitter or indeed select one directly. Then you can press a button to get a map showing the signal path, and profile.

I think is most likely to be Crystal Palace
ITV1- C23
BBC1 C26
C4 C30
BBC2 C33

OK, new lineup created for Crystal Palace: please select Aerial Only and then use postcode 01506 during Guided Setup.

Hi, do you need to point my TiVo to this data in the back-end, as I've selected Aerial only and tried post code 01506 but it still says it can't find any channels.

Thanks!

Actually no, Crystal Palace doesn't do 5 analogue: that comes from the Croydon transmitter (about a mile south of CP). It broadcasts on C37.

Yes, I need to point your service number to the analog-only headends - PM me your tivo service number(s) and I will get it sorted.

OK, I've added CH5 to the Crystal Palace lineup for the people who can get it.

Just wanted to thank poppadum publicly for responding so quickly to my PM request to be enabled for postcode 01506. It worked like a charm

Off to research good compatible STBs...

Does anything need to be done to the backend when I need to come back to the 21st century and leave the aerial-only service behind?

I imagine you would need to PM poppadum again, and then do a Guided Setup for the standard 01000 postcode.

That's correct: once we repoint your service number back to the normal headends, you're all set for digital.

Is it possible to add a lineup for Hannington? I think all the work that the Alt EPG team have done is fantastic, but I was rather sad when I found out that I'd have to wait until DSO early next year (when I'm assured that digital will spring into life in my area) before I can use my Tivo again.

Assuming this is possible, I think the transmitter details are as follows:

Region : BBC South / Meridian

BBC1 C39
BBC2 C45
ITV1 C42
C4 C66
FIVE C35

Thanks in advance

Hannington lineup is ready to go on postcode 01507. If you PM me your tivo service number I'll point your tivo at the analog headends.

Excellent, PM sent, can't wait to get it running again!

I'm stuck with a series 1 TiVo which won't talk to my Freeview box so only aerial channels so wonder if you would mind adding me to 01506 please? I'll PM over my TiVo ID and postcode many thanks Alex

Much obliged poppadum, especially as it covers such a small area - I doubt there'll be any other S1 owners in the patch concerned! My mum says thanks too btw
