Possible problems at digital switchover
» Very, very old equipment will not function (old boxes were only designed to work with 1705 sub-signals, not 6817 sub-signals)
» Missing channels, no subtitles, no programme guide, etc (solved by selecting "first time installation" before rescanning)
» Signals from more than one transmitter (unlikely in London)
» Upgrade in strength from 20kW to 200kW providing "too much signal" (solved by disconnecting high gain aerials and signal booster boxes)
» Some BBC channels and radio stations duplicated (temporary - these appear on old multiplex B and new multiplex BBCA)

Crystal Palace Digital TV multiplexes (from 18 April) (20 → 200kW)
Ch22: COM5 (Arqiva A) (commercial multiplex)
Ch23: PSB1 (BBC A) (public service multiplex) (opens today)
