Tim,Possibly !
At the same time for now try a reset procedure,delete all channels,plug your appliance out of the mains for 30 seconds then back in,now plug the aerial out of your appliance and for now leave it plugged out,do a first time installation normally an automatic scan let it run from start to finish,roughly 2 minutes,the result it will fail to pick up anything.Now after this replug your aerial back in then rescan again it should now work as the previous memory was erased.If this fails,then maybe what you stated about the aerial being misaligned by 5 degrees you may have to realign the aerial by those 5 degrees to pick up the elusive ArqB/Com6 multiplex once again.

Last 2-3 days no channels until 8.00 pm'ish - retuning does not alter this.
Also reception from abou5 5.00 a.m. to 7.00 a.m. is so poor it is impossible to watch or hear - so no television access at all.

is there any reason that new multiplexes should break for a while then be clear?
coms5 is virtually perfect now but was unwatchable for the first few weeks after swichover. I have a similar problem now with coms6- however as my device failed to find them for several weeks this shouldnt be relay teething problems. The coms6 channels dont only break up the devices both say no signal after 30 seconds or so (identical to coms5 early performance).
Yesterday for a while every channel was perfect, now they are behaving as above. My cabling is new and signal fine (from relay)- just wondering if anyone has an explanation.

Can I fit an antenna that will receive Hannington but reject Crystal Palace?
Crystal palace is 90° to my antenna, and almost twice as far away, but my PVR tunes mostly to Crystal Palace, and the signal if often poor quality.
My PVR doesn't have the facility to tune stations manually. I can tune to an individual mux, but then I lose all the other channels.

Steve Swift: Crystal Palace uses channel numbers 22 to 30 and Hannington uses those from 39 to 47. Thus if you unplug the aerial lead for the part of the scan of Crystal Palace channels, it won't pick them up.
The scan runs C21 to C69, so if it only gies a percentage on the scale as it scans, then you can convert.
Should the device, at a later time, take it upon itself to scan and then change the tuned channels to those of Crystal Palace, then you will have to look at installing a filter to block Group A channels.

Since the last digital switchover everything being broadcast from Hannington @ 25000 W i.e. com4, com5 and com6 has had poor reception with the images blocking out. Tonight it's even worse and I've lost these channels altogether. I retuned following the unplug the aerial first and then repeat the tuning and all these channels have gone. They were working fine before the the last switchover. This is very disappointing as i was expecting an improvement in the quality of digital broadcasting
