tim w: As I have seen no problems with BBC channels today, I think you have a connection problem or the channels you tuned were not stored correctly. Check the 800+ numbers.

Kieran R: Your box may be one which uses the dumb tuning algorithm - store the first version that it finds, when scanning from lowest to highest frequencies. The weather is causing distant transmissions to come in stronger, and presumably the box has stored Crystal Palace transmissions rather than Hannington.
See Digital Region Overlap for thoughts on how to work around this problem.

Hi, why is Hannington tramsmitting 3 BBC channels on 2 muxes as the moment ? Four, Parliament and Cbeebies is on the 666 & 674Mhz channels. Seems a waste of bandwidth.

Alan: The Switch-over is still in progress, this will change on on the 22nd at second stage. Rome was not built in a day.

Having re-tuned my multiple set-tops and recorders on Wednesday morning and delightedly found that all stations were on full power and of good quality, I was disappointed that on Thursday (yesterday) I was unable to receive a whole raft of ITV stations 1-4, Channels 4 & 5, etc, which were down on power to zero at times.
Why was this, please?

Alan Baker: Further to Matt's response, see the list of Freeview multiplexes. BBC Parliament and BBC Four/CBeebies move at switchover to a single BBC standard definition multiplex (BBC A).

Hi
I have a problem with the BBC news Channel on Freeview Channel 80 after about 5 secs the channel switches to BBC1. I have hard reset and re-tuned the digi box (a Sony VTX-800U) several times all with the same result. Any advice would be good

I'm in Lambourn, RG17 8FA.
Since the switchover I think I'm suffering from too strong a signal - one Panasonic box thinks an awful lot about channels 40-c.46 but registers no channels. Other boxes report signal strength 10. I do have an amplifier, but of course its also a splitter (I need 3 feeds). Can you get splitters that aren't amplifiers, or do I just need to install a couple of simple splitters in series to by-pass the amp?

Richard: Yes, you can get non-powered splitters:
Television Aerial Boosters / Amplifiers, Splitters, Diplexers & Triplexers
You could try disconnecting the amp and connecting the aerial to one TV and see if it improves matters.
