Which LCN, 1 or 101?

It's been suggested that the (obvious) defects only occurred on the BBC1
HD channel, and may have been something to do with the 5.1 (i.e.surround
sound) feed. I definitely had it (CP LCN 101) but I don't have any
surround sound kit.

Complete silence from BBC as yet that I know of.
