After re tuning the digital receivers this week to get BBC2 due to the start of the switchover from the Midhurst transitter, the signals on groups C and D have gone from 40 - 50% on quality right up to 100%. So once again I can watch all of the channels that I lost a couple of months ago.

Transmitter engineering: Since retuning after the switch over we've lost the BBC Mux (channel55) from our Humax 8000T PVR. It just won't see it no matter what we do (deleting all channels, scanning with no aerial, manual scanning etc) even though it shows 80% strength on the screen. The TV plugged into it has no problem seeing all channels as do all the other TV's in the house. Any suggestions as we're loosing patience!

Humax's have an option: FIRST TIME INSTALLATION. You have to run this. I am getting BBCA crystal clear in NW London from Hannington.

Darren Ellis: Normally I'd say that it didn't support 8K mode, but to the best of my knowledge, all PVR-8000T are compatible with it. My parents have one, and have had no problems since Hannington switched over.
Humax's website doesn't list any software downloads for this box at present; it's possible that there were some at some time. You'd have to email them to find out if your box is up-to-date and how you can get it updated.
It is possible that you now have too much signal, given that BBC A is 10 dB (10x) louder than before.

Hi,
I seem to be short of certain freeview channels for my region here in Burgess Hill (coming off the Midhurst trans).
According to the list above I get (and have always got) everything other than MUX D, these channels have never appeared on my Sony TV (TV is a year old and on the latest firmware).
Do I assume that as of 14th March than all the MUX's will be up to full working power and this other batch of channels will appear then?
Thanks in advance.
Neil

In addition I've just noticed a chunk of channels of MUX C that I don't receive either, is this is a similar problem to the MUX D channels?
The aerial installation was only about two years ago and was specifically put in for the digital upgrade.
Cheers again
Neil

Hi Brian
I have a Digivision Freeview box that periodically turns on the teletext on BBC channels; I get a 'please wait' message followed by the red button or index page without any input from me. It also occasionally changes channels without input eg it might keep defaulting to BBC1.
Any thoughts on cause?? I am on Midhurst transmitter - it was happening before and now after the recent part switchover on 29/02
Thanks Phil

Neil Soane: Mux D from Midhurst has the lowest transmission power of the lot at 1kW. Others are at 2kW and Mux D is 2.5kW. It's not quite as simple as that because there are different modes and some are more rugged than others.
I would try manually tuning if you can. If not, then (as sure as we can ever be) the increase in power next week should solve your problems.

Neil Saone: Heathfield analogue ITV1 is on the same frequency as Midhurst MuxC right now, so where you are, you're not likely to get MuxC. I think you'll be alright from 14th March after the 2nd part of Midhurst DSO.

Before 29 February I had a clear picture on BBC channels, but others such as ITV were pixelated most of the time. Since 29 Feb it is now the other way round. Thinking the problem may be to much boost I removed the 8 way booster and plugged the aerial directly into the TV. No signal. I put a new 4 way booster in place of the 8 way and still no signal. Put the 8 way booster back on and Im back to the starting point. This problem is a 37 inch TV. But on a 23 inch TV no problems at all, reception on all the channels is good. Any ideas.
