Digital Spy Terrestrial: Freeview transmission change nearly complete

Changes to the way Freeview service information is transmitted near
completion.
hanges to the way Freeview service information is transmitted are nearing
completion.
The use of a split network information table - a table which describes to
set top boxes the technical parameters of a multiplex - has been introduced
in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire,
Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall.
A region-by-region rollout has proceeded relatively rapidly since the
change was made in the West Midlands early last month.
The changes, which render a small proportion of old set-top boxes unusable,
are expected to be completed across the UK in coming weeks.
Freeview said a split or dual NIT was now necessary because of the
increased number of channels, radio stations and interactive services
carried on the digital terrestrial platform.
