I'm on the boundary between Crystal Palace and Hannington. My aerial is pointing at Crystal Palace and therefore I get my digital TV from London. However, I do like to switch to BBC South for local news.
Now that the Hannington signal has been boosted I find I can pick up the BBCA multiplex from Hannington on C45. That's despite my aerial pointing the wrong way and possibly being in the wrong group (not sure on that last point).
My Humax VCR did exactly what I wanted. I did a manual tune on C45 and BBC South (plus others) appeared as logical channels 800 et seg. Perfect. I can watch London most of the time and select Southern when required.
Less luck on the upstairs TV, though. There I have a cheap Xenta digibox. I tried the same procedure, manual tune on C45. It found the Hannington channels but put them onto LCNs 1 etc., displacing the BBC London channels up to the 800 range. That's despite the fact that the box reports a marginally stronger signal from CP then Hannington. I tried deleting the 800+ channels and doing a manual retune on C25 (where BBC London lives). No luck. It still chooses to put the BBC London channels up in the 800s and keeps BBC South as LCN 1.
Any suggestions how I can pursuade my box to put BBC South as LCN800 and keep BBC London as channel 1?

Frimley GU16 7DX. I have two aerials, one pointing at Crystal Palace and one at Hannington, two digital TVs and one Freeview box. Pre DSO no digital signals from Hannington. Crystal Palace on Freeview box, MUXA, MUXB, MUXC usable, MUX1 iffy, no MUX2. TVs no MUX1 or MUX2. On 8/2/12 I did a manual retune of Freeview box on Hannington BBCA (Ch45) with good results. I believe 'notch' has gone. TVs still not seeing Hannington - probably inferior tuners!.

DaveG: Your experience with reception from Crystal Palace is in accordance with the predictions on the Digital UK postcode checker. After switchover you should have good reception on the PSB muxes, the COM muxes however could be seen as deteriorating by way of reliable reception despite the transmitter power being increased to 200kW on each mux. Hannington is shown as not giving any reception before DSO, but is expected to give good reception on all muxes after full power working is adopted, so you get C45 now (BBCA), with D3+4 and MuxHD following on 22nd February 2012. SDN switches to full power on 4th April 2012, with ArqA and ArqB following on 18th April 2012. Regarding the TVs not seeing Hannington, if they are older receivers check that they are not on the list of equipment that does not support the 8k mode.

Yippee. Here in Camberley, after yesterday's first stage in the switch-over, digital signal levels are now back up to what they were before engineering changes for the switchover started to make things worse about a year ago!
