casamax: Challenge TV, as well as Pick TV, Dave, E4+1 etc, etc are on the considerably lower powered Mux Ch53 until the 23rd of November, and so you may not receive it very well depending on your aerial set up, that is even although the predictor does indicate that you should receive it.

You could try manually tuning it in on Mux Ch53, I would normally advise to first of all blank out anything stored in the EPG, but your local Grimsby transmitter doesn't transmit anything other than PSB channels and so no EPG number 46 should be indicated.

This all said taking it that you are using Belmont?

Jimmi James: Have you checked the 800s of the channel list for alternative BBC regions? If your aerial is pointing at Waltham this should be one of the regions being received, it is likely that you have Emley Moor from behind the aerial and Belmont is also a possibility. If you want the East Midlands in position 1 in the channel list you will have to do a manual tune to C61 after first clearing the channel list.

Jimmi James: When you last re-scanned your box has most likely stored Emley Moor rather than Waltham.

To avoid having to manually tune the latter, remove your aerial and carry out a scan without it, this will blank the EPG memory, then BEFORE re-connecting start an auto-tune whilst at the same time observing the channels rising in the progress bar, then as soon as they pass Ch52 immediately re connect the aerial and that will allow Waltham to load.

KMJ,Derby: Dual reply not intentional KMJ, as I dont reply via typing into this box but paste it from elsewhere, and sometimes dont notice a reply has already been given as its hidden in the masking.

jb38: No problem. I've done that several times when a reply has been sent whilst I was in the process of typing!

Following re-tune everything is there except Pick+1. This shows full strength signal and audio but there is no picture and no sound! Further re-tunes leave it just the same - I have no manual tune for digital. It's not life or death but I hate things that don't work if I don't know why. Any offers?

Pick tv+1 is no longer broadcasting on Freeview, so you're not missing anything!
