Roza: If you are using the Nottingham/Kimberley transmitter Mux ArqB is now transmitting on C48 following a recent frequency change. The Digital UK postcode checker shows excellent reception for you from this transmitter. Try doing another retune if you did not do one during the past week. If you are using Waltham or Sutton Coldfield however, reception is shown as poor for this mux.

Neil Stanley: What is your postcode? - so a check can be made on which transmitter you are likely to be using and whether any changes have been made which could affect your reception of Mux ArqB.

Might as well mention that Film 4 (ch 15) is now missing (Ely).
It was on 67 - then became unobtainable last week - despite a re-tune or two subsequently - with Sky News (ch.82) now on 67 instead of 40.
Nothing else appears to be missing - so why Film 4??

stafford: If you have ITV4 but not Film 4, check whether Film 4 appears in the 800s. If it does, you probably have a box that can't handle the larger Network Information Table, or otherwise has a problem with the NIT.
Check http://www.digitaluk.co.u…tnit , a list of some boxes known to have a problem with it.
Otherwise, check with the box supplier.

Thanks for response.
Set top box Bush DFTA11 (wasn't/isn't on the 'splitnit' page: which problem caused the Sony Wega 28" (KD28DX50U) no longer capable of tuning digital channels).
ITV4 is also missing (mainly watch Film 4 - hence the frustration) - with 800< channels on 22/25/30/54/61 (plus 24/27/31/67 in the normal range)...but no ITV4/Film4 there either..
Looks like another set-top box is now required?

Just to add - looks like those you mentioned on Sept 1st are also missing - [multiplex D/ArqB] - but still can get 'the junk'....
Any recommendations (ie: set-top box) appreciated.

Thanks: a bit confusing that!
Did expect '48' to take-over on 14 Sept; but there's absolutely no signal ('40' now lost: previously 'marginal' + '29': even more marginal, so there was some improvement before this last change).
Most of the others quoted are 'new numbers' @ virtually 'full-power' for the main-range: so presumably an aerial upgrade ('wideband'): but it seems (to me) odd that this should be required for '48' when the existing (10yo UHF installation) picks-up 'everything else'...despite the plethora of recent changes.

trish leafe: If you are using the Sheffield/Crosspool transmitter the frequency for Mux ArqB, which carries Film4, was changed to C39 on Tuesday 27th September 2011. You will therefore need to do a retune to restore reception of Film4, after first clearing the channel list to remove all memory of the old frequency.
