Pah - curse those North Downs. I guess I'll have to wait, or get a very, very tall aerial! Thanks for the response, Alex.

Dear Brianist, Thanks for the link. Mux D was working last night (13/2/11) but was not working this afternoon (14/2/11) It is working tonight (14/2/11). It is all very strange. I haven't rescanned as the EPG has the channel but when you select it you get "No Signal" if the Mux is down.

I've done some more experiments. The tuner which was not getting a full scan is a Panasonic EX83 PVR. The coax is connected through this to my Panasonic TX-42G20B TV. The signal level from CH66 is so low that the slightest drop in signal level stops reception.
I have used manual scan to test the signal levels. I only get a signal lock on CH 21,24,27,31,39 & 66. Why is CH66 so low?

M. Holland: C66 is quite low anyway, and you tend to find that the higher the frequency, the lower the signal "appears" to be.
Also, the type of aerial you have can change the "response curve". There is some information about this on Aerial group performance | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Multiplex D was allocated this frequency because it has the poorest coverage.

Thanks for the information. The signal strength on the TV is colour coded. All channels apart from C66 are green. C66 is orange sometimes slipping into red. I suppose I have to wait for good weather to guarantee C66 reception. Will the channel allocation in 2012, when we get Freeview HD, sort this out? It seems a long time to wait.
