@StevensOnln1 That explains it. For some reason the TV aerial distribution system in the building where I live doesn't carry the local mux. Luckily my TV also does FreeSat.

I'm afraid current weather/propagation conditions mean that signals from other transmitters travel further and cause interference. If you have all the channels (LCNs) present in your list, then you'll need patience until conditions settle down.
If you are missing complete multiplexes, then try a manual tune for their UHF channel which you may have to do when conditions are more stable. Sometimes (depends on set) you may have to clear ALL previous tuning before doing retunes/manual tunes to get everything satisfactorily, do the clearing by an automatic scan with the aerial unplugged. HTH.

Dear UK Free TV.
The information here is a great resource but is it up to date (Aug 2019)?
I am in between transmitters (Hannington and Cristal Palace) and am trying to keep tuned into my local network Meridian. Cristal Palace does try and force its way through the back of my B antenna which is quite annoying, therefore I have to keep doing manual tunes, hence the great usefulness of your (this) web site. That is why I ask if it is fully up to date, for instance, I believe that tx channel 39+ is now channel 39? What else might be different?
Thanks in anticipation of your reply.
Regards John

John: According to Digital UK, Hannington is now using UHF channel 39 rather than 39+. You can check current allocations (and planned future changes) by entering your postcode at the link below and ticking the detailed view box.

I live in Wokingham and receive my signal from Hannington. I have a Samsunbg TV and Humax FVP4000T and both are showing the same problem.
A month or two ago we recorded a lot of programmes from the Paramount channel - the quality suddenly deteriorated halfway through the series. We later found other channels with poor reception.
We retuned the Humax box - and nothing changed except that on a recent re-tune we lost the whole multiplex that contains BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD etc. The TV/Humax still appeared to find them but there was zero signal strength.
I've done the reset procedure (unplugged aerial, switched off/on etc) on both devices. I still have no BBC1 HD etc.

I would check that your aerial hasn't moved in recent high winds or been damaged and likewise that your coax is ok. If you have an older group B aerial you should should receive the main multiplexes ok.
You need a wideband aerial to get all multiplexes from Hannington as COMs 7&8 are on UHF 55&56 and there are local multiplexes on UHF 32&34. You will need to be in a suitable area to get reception of those and you can check your predcted reception by putting your postcode into Digital UK - Coverage checker

Have just lost HD muxes for BBC & ITV on both my Youview box and the TV's own digital tuners from Hannington. Anyone else?

In that situation you should unplug the aerial lead, perform a full retune and refit the aerial plug and perform another retune. That clears the redundant memory data and allows new tuning data to be saved afresh.
