58 is definitely lower in strength and quality compared with the BBC and ITV channels so the aerial is clearly to blame.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Also in Braintree. The above listing suggests the channels to tune to are C44, 41, 47, 49, 54, 50. However, I appear to be receiving the full spread on C44, 41, 47, 58, 60, 56.
Is that correct?

I have retuned my boxes and now have the weak channels I lacked, except that one box, my main one which is also my pvr, will not get Challenge. It goes to channel 47 directly after ch 42, then jumps again to channel 70. Any ideas please?

Mervyn Carter : what do you mean by MUX 2? Post switchover (July 2011) there is no MUX of that name.
