Briantist, many thanks for this information. I guess I'm going to miss Frozen Planet and Formula 1 then, as I can only record from Freeview. Do you know whether BBC Radio 4 Extra (708) will be affected on November 9th?
Thanks
Mike

Briantist, thanks for confirmation re Radio 4 Extra. I've set up remote access to my desktop PC and if circumstances allow I'll try a remote retune from SE Asia.
Thanks - Mike

Briantist: I succesfully retuned my Digivox Freeview TV USB dongle from Chiang Mai in northern Thailand by remote desktop access, and was delighted to find that all the programmes I had set to record were waiting for me when I got home last Sunday!
An added complication was that a scheduled power cut was in force when we left for our holiday, and so I had had to set up my computer carefully to ensure that it would reboot as soon as the power returned, and that the necessary applications would also restart. Now all I have to do is to find time to watch them :-)
Thanks again for your advice - Mike

I receive Freeview from Tacolneston, and record programmes both on a PVR and
using Windows Media Centre on a PC. I shall be on holiday when the first
retune is required (Nov 9th); is it only BBC TWO that is affected by this?
In other words, will recordings set for other channels continue to work after
November 9th until November 23rd?
Thank you
Mike
