Hi,
I have 3 TVs and 2 Recorders (off the same aerial).
Only 1 TV can view your channel (96).
1 Recorder and 1 TV 'sees' your channel but with no information.
and 1 Recorder and 1 TV does not recognise channel 96 as a valid channel even after retuning.
Can you give a reason please?

Eric:
Forces TV (LCN96) is on the COM7 HD multiplex (as mentioned at the top of this page), see Channel listings for Industry Professionals | Freeview for which channels are on which multiplex.
How long has this situation existed? This is an independent help-site. As you haven't given either a full postcode or any idea of your location, we've no idea what Transmitter(s) you might receive or what your predicted reception might be, so we can only guess at some of the possible reasons.
On the Set & PVR not recognizing LCN96, I expect you won't have any HD channels at LCNs 106, 107 - BBC4 HD and BBC News HD or any other channels on COM7. To receive an HD multiplex (even where a channel on it is SD), you need a receiver that has a T2/HD tuner, so those two devices may be SD only.
When you say 1 TV and 1 recorder "sees" the channel, but with no information, can you be more precise about exactly what they get. Is it just a blank screen and no sound, do you get a no signal message? It might be that the transmitter maybe undergoing Planned Maintenance and the signal is weaker so these two aren't decoding any signal. Have either device been retuned recently? It could be they are on a longer cable run than the TV that gets LCN96, so that will reduce the signal. Do not retune if you have a no signal message.
I assume you have some sort of splitter/distribution amp, there's always a possibility there could be a fault there (or at the aerial or downlead) causing a weaker signal.
Without a full postcode and more detail of the installation, we can't see what your predicted reception might be or whether signals might be affected by maintenance etc.
On the TV that gets Forces TV and presumably BBC4 HD and BBC News HD (106 & 107), have a look in your TV's tuning section for what Signal Strength and Quality each UHF channel for each multiplex is getting. This may be in somewhere like "Signal Strength" or "Manual Tuning" etc. Note them all down and post the information along with the full postcode.

Is the recorder able to record BBC4 HD and BBC News HD (106 & 107)? Maybe the recorder is not receiving the channels on the COM7 multiplex on UHF channel C55.

Forces tv and others from the including bbc news 107 have suddenly dropped off, never a problem until a week ago when signal started to break up and now gone completely. Blue bell hill transmitter, Maidstone, Kent

DH:
The Bluebell Hill transmitter is currently having Planned Engineering. The information available suggests that it could be operating on reduced power affecting one or more multiplexes at any given time. whilst the work is i progress. Do NOT retune whilst you have no signal or bad breakup as this usually just clears the correct tuning.

Sue Geen: Do you get the HD channels on 101-114 on your bedroom TV? Forces TV is carried on the COM7 multiplex alongside BBC Four HD and Quest HD, which requires the TV or box to be capable of receiving HD channels.
