All bandwidths are measured in kb/s

Channels shown in orange are subscription channels provided Top Up Tv & Setanta Sports.

Channels shown in red work on a PPV system using MHEG and PIN codes.

Where more than one channel is shown in a slot these channels work on a time share basis.

Channels working on a time share basis are shown in the order they are shown during the day.

The order and placement of these channels applies only to DTT transmission in the UK.

The SDN multiplex is split into three sections, the channels and their order is region dependant.

Slots shown in light blue are interactive services using MHEG.

In Wales S4C is on LCN 4 and Channel 4 is on LCN 8. In England More 4 is on LCN 13. Also Teletext Holidays is on mux 2 not A.

Mux 2 is licensed to Digital 3&4 which is 48.5% ITV, 48.5% Channel 4 and 3% Teletext.

* To be confirmed
