I have a Logik LDR1a digibox, which since we went all digital has had an "improved epg". The current one is continuallyupdating, and is most iritating.
How do we get the old format back (it says you can, but when you try it just goes through another 20 min update)?
How doe we contact anyone who nkows what has happened. Note non of or oither digiboxes have had this poroblem. We are in CV5 6DG postcode, on Sutton Coldfield. We have ample (maybe too much ) signal at all the aerial points.

In the case of Bilsdale after DSO2 from Wednesday 26 September 2012,a group K aerial will give a slightly better performance than the group W wideband aerials.However those in the overlap Bilsdale/Emley Moor area within North Yorkshire such as York city for example who watch both Bilsdale and Emley Moor transmissions on diplexed aerials,should diplex a group K aerial directed towards Bilsdale,and on this occasion a group W wideband aerial directed towards Emley Moor.

On Bilsdale transmitter, post code TS9 6QH. Channels on Cghannel 34 are fine, then become pixellated for a few seconds, and then back to normal Signal strenght is 47%, quality 100%, but during pixellation, these drop to 4% for each. The weather today (the time I've had to look & think about things), is fine & dry with no wind. Any suggestions? Ariel is wideband (I think) DIY fitted a few months ago.

mike Roberts.Wigan.From a terrestrial point of view receiving Bilsdale transmissions from both the present analogue and currently lower powered pre-digital signals anywhere within North West England now up to their DSO come September 2012,the answer is yes in the case of analogue but only snowy broadcasts and only in the area you mentioned on the far eastern fringes of North West England,one possible area being east of Clitheroe.In the case of lower powered pre-digital switched signals,the answer most likely is no.However come DSO when analogue and low-power pre-digital signals are eventually turned off for good,is is a possibly that the three 100kw high powered mux's from Bilsdale BBCA,D3+4,BBCB (HD),can be received over a wider area namely around Clitheroe (50kw SDN,ArqA,ArqB mux's maybe ?),and other eastern fringes of North West England,but that possibly is it.

I have a Philips Freeview Recorder with HD. It seems to think that Bilsdale is now broadcasting in HD and asks me to select SD/HD whenever I change channel. It is extremely annoying. They obviously are not broadcasting HD yet (and won't be for nerarly a year) so why can't they turn off the identifier?

I appear to be still picking up some analogue channels from Bilsdale. I am getting BBC1 Tyne Tees area and other channels. Is this possible?
