Further to my posting of 28Aug. I am receiving Chesterfield transmitter at S402JH where DSO is completed, but I am still getting dropout on BBC channels and according to my PVR the signal strength is the same as before DSO. Will the signal strength be increased? This site doesn't report any future intention to do this so we might be left with a permanent problem with BBC reception. I already have a mast head booster on my roof aerial and the O.S. map shows us to be line-of-site to the transmitter. I understand some friends in this area have the same problem. Any further comments please?

DavidHufton: Are you absolutely positive that your TV / box is picking up BBC from Chesterfield (Mux Ch26) and not Belmont (Mux Ch22) as that is shown on the reception predictor as being very possible at the post code given.
The only reason I mention this is, because its a very common thing to happen when auto-tuning a TV in any area where signals can be received from more that one station, as the receiving device generally locks onto the first Mux channel it finds. (if strong enough!)
Try a signal check to see what Mux channel is shown.

Hi.
Just retuned Humax PVR9200T and picking up no stations at all.
Booster installed and digital aerial and all was fine before. Neighbour also complaining of similar problem.
Postcode is S40 3PQ.
Done the reset, even reset to factory defaults.
Any help appreciated.

jb38: I've just been comparing my LG TV MUXes with the Humax PVR and you are right, automatic tuning has given different results on the two receivers. The Humax has selected Ch57 whereas the LG has selected Ch26. I am going to Manually tune the Humax now hoping there are no complications which might have caused the Humax to have rejected maybe too strong a signal.
Thanks for your help. Do you think Ch57 and 60 I am receiving come from the Hasland relay?

Paul S Chapman: Hello Paul, I have the same Humax as you and I suspect your problem is due to Resetting to default which turns its internal power supply for the mast head amp. off. You have to go to the relevant part of the Menu and turn it on again. This is not possible when doing an OTA SW update for the PVR. I found the only way to do that is to use an external PSU which feeds thro the coax to the aerial. If you are already using an external psu disregard all this. I hope this helps.

jb38: Wrt my previous postings. I did a manual retune as in the user manual which is a little difficult to follow. To my suprise it replaced C57 mux with C26 rather than keeping both muxes. This is what I wanted since it only adds to the confusion to keep the unused mux. Signal Strength is up to 90% and Quality 100.
Regards, DH

DavidHufton: Re your 3:25pm query yesterday, yes! its almost certain that the two Mux's referred to are from Hasland, although the BBC one you didn't want (Mux Ch57) may well now be found stored somewhere up in the 800 ranges.
Its possible that the Humax did reject Mux Ch26 during auto-tuning "if" its been slightly too powerful, so your action of manually tuning it is the correct procedure, as tuners (some anyway) are more likely to respond better to a fixed command, this also applying in reverse situations where signals might be a bit on the weak side.
This kind of problem is already widespread across many areas, and wont really calm down until the switchover process has finally been completed, unless that is someone is purchasing a new set that doesn't have area selection facilities attached to the tuning menu, as dependant on location, they might also have to carry out manual tuning to obtain the correct Mux channels for their area.
