Mr Lindsay
Wonder if you hold a ARS call???
Saw the pictures in the link.
Memories of Marconi as part of the Tx team in setting up the IBA Ch4 national . Never went on site though but had great contacts with the IBA/BBC ARS engineers. had the 4 port Tx combining systems explained, 4 TX in one combiner going out to one and each Tx electrically not seeing any other port!!!
long time ago now!!! now learning fast on digi TV!!

I know I'm on some north east or other but can someone, please. Every time I re-tune my box, I find that the next day some of the have gone. As far as I know, this has only happened since the north-east a couple of months back.
It always seem to be Dave and Sky News that vanish. Any advice, anyone?

William Kane: Knowledge of the and possibly your location may well be imperative here. Asking for on the basis that you are receiving from "some" transmitter is either not going to get any response, or some guesses may have to be made as to the blanks you've left.

The problem you describe can happen when a runs out of memory because it has found more than it can remember. This is usually as a result of it picking up signals from additional/other transmitters and the desired transmitter being picked up last.

In the North East there are four full-service transmitters (those that carry the Commercial channels which include Dave and Sky News).

uses high channels which are therefore found near to the end of the . Dave and Sky News are carried on Pontop Pike's highest channel which makes me wonder if you are receiving from it. If you are and this is the problem then just run the automatic tuning scan with the aerial unplugged for about the first 50% to miss out scanning of the channels used by other transmitter(s) (that you probably don't use anyway). This should leave you with memory to store COM5 which carries Sky News and Dave.

I have a Humax PVR 9150T and it cuts some programmes off before they are due to end. It does this every night during news at ten on bbc1.It can also cut off other programme before their due time.My dealer tells me that this is not the fault of the recorder,but the which switches the which tells the rcorder to record,off early.THIS IS MOST FRUSTRATING.
Can anything be done about this?

John Ovenden: A Humax allows you to manually add up to 5 minutes to the end time of any programme being recorded by pressing "menu", then press OK on the top icon of the five seen running down the left hand side of the screen, followed by scrolling down to the bottom of the list and pressing on "recording end time".

The point to remember being that this action will take the recording out of being fully automatic in operation, albeit under normal circumstances this is neither here nor there.
