Long distance television

Yes - I should have turned off the Freeview but didn’t think at the time. It also has the network catchup service available but of course doesn’t work on WIN.

Yes this is the result with a north facing antenna with the Mt Coot-tha nulled to no signal due to interference.

This sure is a way to confuse (the rather useless) Freeview though - the EPG now insists on providing programming for all stations previously received (whether currently available or not) - so for example there are now 3 different SC10’s in the EPG - one on LCN 5, one on 374 and another on 377

.

I also noticed that as per the Australian standard any additional discrete channels received on the inbuilt tuner (nothing to do with Freeview) on duplicate LCNs are stored starting at LCN 350. The system already had stored ABC regional and SBS regional stations there, but tuning in the additional stations, and especially now with the large number of duplicate LCNs (7, 70 and 71 !!) the system filled up to 400 then stopped. I don’t know if that is the capacity of the AUS standard or it is just a Panasonic limitation. If this were more permanent it would be necessary to re-allocate program numbers to the extra LCNs.
