Andrew Clinton: The only engineering work was this morning, bringing the SDN multiplex up to full power and on the main broadcast antenna. This shouldn't have had any effect on reception of HD channels, unless you were close to having too much signal before, and the additional power on the SDN multiplex has now pushed it over the edge.

Don't throw away your old 2K mode digital box (Nokia etc. ITV/ONLINE DIGITAL). It may have 2 SCART sockets and an RF modulator which will feed extension TVs in other rooms. Feed SCART leads from new box through old box (which must be switched fully on) to main TV, and connect low loss UHF coaxial cable extension leads from old box to extension TVs tuned to correct frequency of old box analogue output, with a splitter if necessary. Also the old box may feed a stereo amplifier if fitted with phono audio output sockets, which many new boxes don't have.

I'm having problems with Com5 ARQA from Waltham over the past 2 days.

ROGER AUSTIN: I can't think of a box where the incoming SCART signal is output as an RF signal, the RF is generated from the output of the frame generator system in the decoder.

ian from notts: There was good Inversion conditions so that is probably the reason. Once switchover is complete, the network should operate correctly even when there are "atmospherics".

Perhaps someone might be able to enlighten me with regards to the freeview reception. I am able to receive with Excellent reception Channel 59, I can receive channel 61, 54 & 29 equally good, strong & stable. BUT and this puzzles me no end, I cannot receive Channels 56 or 57. What could be causing this problem and would there any possible solutions? I have tried adjusting the amplification of the masthead amp with no improvement.
PS Inlaw's system is working great now
