Today's changes:

11 - Sky Arts (COM5) - launched
11 - Pick (COM5) - moved to LCN 34
34 - Merit (COM7) - closed
57 - Smithsonian Channel (COM5) - moved to LCN 56
68 - BBC FOUR (PSB1) - moved to LCN 55 in Scotland only
88 - Together TV (COM5) - moved to LCN 87
89 - Together TV +1 (COM7) - moved to LCN 88
92 - Pick +1 (COM7) - removed (channel stopped broadcasting 3 months ago on DTT)

And there's more to come. Ofcom want BBC Four moving back to a higher channel number in Scotland while keeping BBC Scotland in BBC Four's old channel slot. To make room for that every channel below it in the whole of the UK will have to move at least one place down! :clown:

Thanks for the heads up on that Dutchman. I have a few regular programmed slots that will be affected.
