john merchant: On the basis that you say you can see the transmitter, I wonder if the issue is that the levels are on the high to too high side.

KWH: I would suggest you gave this reset procedure - My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - a go. Film4 has not been encrypted for about a decade.

since the switchover on the 18th I've retuned
twice just to get back ITV4 and Film4 cause they keep disappearing which is rather
sinister.

I live in NW3 and have also lost Film 4 since retuning on 18th April using a Grundig box - our other TV with a built in Freeview receiver does receive Film 4 ok since retuning. Have tried 1st time installation twice and a manual re-tune all to no avail - This is really frustrating! Can anyone help?

Sarah, Roger Kent, John Nutt and anyone else missing Film 4 since retuning for Crystal Palace, please give the make and model number of your device.
There are some known issues with known devices that may prevent them from receiving Film 4 and other services on Arqiva B multiplex such as Yesterday.

Thanks Dave Lindsay - I've tweeted you directly but my Grundig Box is GUSTB160IV - by the way I've tried clearing all channels and repeating 1st time install but still no luck!
All the channel 28 stations are missing and nothing comes up either when doing a manual search.
Thanks for you offer to help!

John Nutt: It appears that the issue is as I suspected; that your box will not receive channels with a negative offset and in 8k mode.
Basically, signals are transmitted on channels. Each channel is at a particular frequency. This channel from Crystal Palace has a negative offset which means that the signal is at slightly lower frequency than the "centre" frequency of channel 28.
After switchover, signals use 8k mode rather than the former 2k mode.
See this bulletin from Digital UK:

There was a firmware (similar to software) update for your model.
If came across this page on the Vestel T810 (which your model is based on):
Unofficial Vestel PVR Information (UK) - T810 Freeview Recorder
Google various terms such as vestel t810 negative offset. You may be able to confirm that the firmware version you have (it will tell you somewhere in the menu system) is not the most up-to-date.
I am not sure whether there is a way of updating the firmware now it's not broadcast over the air. Perhaps one of the pros on here could advise.

Dave Lindsay: Thanks for your very helpful reply. It seems we might need a new box and perhaps time to purchase an HD one - unless anyone else can suggest a fix? I know our box was manufactured in 2006. Meanwhile I will check firmware as you have suggested. Many thanks!
