New TUTV channel 113?

Hi folks

I'm not sure if it's just my freeview box (philips DTR500), but by mistake today I discovered channel 113 displays as 'New Top Up TV Channel'. I have TUTV on another box and searched for channels but it didn't appear, possibly because the signal is weaker in that room.

Does anyone else have it? :confused:

    Interesting.

    Could you try to see if you have channel 49.

    It sounds like you are just getting channel 49 but on 113 for some reason.

    If not then maybe Top up TV are going to add Sky One (mix) soon ;)

    Generally - ONdigital STBs put 'unallocated' channels into the 800 series and will put extra channels from other transmitters in the next free slot above its target - if the target is full.

    ie If LCN49 slot is filled and you get a second copy of LCN49 it will go into 52 as 50 and 51 are filled by other (text) channels.

    If the broadcaster has not specified an LCN - then it will go into 800+ in order of discovery. In the early days of Freeview when the channels were being loaded there were channels 801-814 at one stage.

    Some STBs use 100+ for the same purpose.

    It is possible that some STBs put duplicate LCNs into 800+ rather than fill gaps.

    It may be that some boxes put channels into 100+ then shake them down to their correct positions at the end of scanning - any duplicates or unallocated channels could stay where originally put (this is the computer programming part of me analysing how the LCN list is organised after detecting the channels)

    The 'empty slot' method can be a real pain - it was especially in the early days of Freeview when there were many empty slots and the channels appeared any old where - and often the w eaker channels were in the 'correct' slots - it took hours to sort out - so I reduced the aerial amplification instead and lost the extra channels.

    Of course the question is.......is there anything showing on it?

    I get ITV, Channel 4 and the likes on channels 800+. I rearranged them, obviously. I'm in Manchester and am quite close to Winter Hill, so I dunno why this happened. Weak signal?
