just done a manual retune of my Humax 9200 on Mendip again......grrr
I've found channels on 54,56,61,62 and 67 but nothing on 58. Is this an HD only multiplex and that's why i find no channels?

I've just tried channel 12 and the associated channels on that multiplex. I'm getting pictures but they are all breaking up.
Is there anyone we can complain to like OFCOM ? There seems to be so many problems with Mendip that something should be done.

I cannot get Film 4 or 4Music on the usual channels of 14 and 18 on Freeview, however I can get them on channels 812 and 801 respectively - which is very annoying.
Anyone know a fix for this?

I have also lost most of the free view channels after retune and told I need a new aerial by your helpline, it works perfectly well before the retune so why should I be expected to buy a new aerial when it your mistake I would look forward to your reply.
And you call this an upgrade I think not.

Re recent comment have several TVs with Freeview all have retuned with no problem so signal strength seems ok the problem seems to be with the ICAN box. Any one got any similar problems ;the missing channels are available on 801 etc presumably from the South West transmitter
