Unable to receive any channels BBCA, ArqA or ArqB in OX14 4AX. d3+4 & SDN channels fine.
Normally have good signal/picture on all mux.
No engineering works indicated on transmitter so presumably down to weather conditions......?

I can't get Digital radio on my Humax. I've switched it off, switched it back on again, retuned it...
But the only stations that show up in the 700-range are:
790: Test (coming soon), and
791: Dave ja vu.
Can anyone throw any light on this please?

Is there a 'configuration' option in the menu? Often after I've retuned my kitchen Toshiba, I need to find the appropriate menu and check that the 'Channel list' option hasn't reset itself to 'TV only' instead of 'Show All'.

"I can't get Digital radio on my Humax. I've switched it off, switched it back on again, retuned it..."
Your user manual should explain how to do this.
There might be a "TV/radio" button under the sliding cover. Press this to switch between radio and TV reception.
Any recorded radio programmes appear in the "audio" rather than the "video" list.

I meant to say that it hadn't reset itself to 'Show All'!
And I'm NOT in Driffield!

Thanks nickwilcock and Paul.
There are no such config settings.
I used to have the full range of radio and now they've gone.
So is there anyone else receiving from the OX transmitter who can check whether they have radio?
