After the complete switchover you'll probably have to re-scan the box again as I believe they are moving some other frequencies around too. I have found since the switchover the BBC channels have started to pixelate and in some cases stop working completely but I'm just putting this down to the work that is being done at the moment (and possibly a bit of interference maybe).
