Freeview Multiplexes
The number or letter beside the channels in the above list represents the Multiplex (or MUX) that carries the channel. Freeview channels are broadcast on one of six dedicated Freeview multiplexes - 1, 2, A, B, C or D, and as channels are grouped in multiplexes, it's common that you'll either receive all of the channels on a multiplex, or none of the channels on that multiplex.
