Mendip transmitter - January 11th retune required | TV channelsWednesday 19 January 2011 12:27PM

Please Help!! Mendip Transmitter Problems.
I re-tuned on 18th January and retrieved ITV4,FILM4 & YESTERDAY Channels on the old TV with a separate digibox.
However with my Sony TV with the inbuilt Freeview Box I cannot retrieve these channels.
I have followed the advice of disconnecting the vhs recorder and Virgin Box,resetting the TV, disconnecting the aerial retune and then retuning with aerial inserted on six occassions and still no success.
We have a new digital aerial with a power booster and had no problems until the 11th January retune.
Nextdoor neighbour has had no problems at all with his Sony TV and same aerial installed by same installer.
Please help.

Briantist:
Followed your recommendations; after retuning without the aerial in showing no channels located, inserted the aerial and retuned again, received Welsh Channels but still no Multiplex D channels.
Retuned again to obtain English Channels, but still no Multiplex D Channels.
I want to switch from Virgin.
Is there anything else I can do to get these?
Many thanks.

Great News: I do not have to wait until 28th September 2011.
My aerial engineer successfully recovered the lost channels using the following method.
Retune with the aerial out to clear your system, which I had done previously.
The secret is to THEN RETUNE AGAIN WITH THE AERIAL OUT UNTIL THE RETUNE BAR IS JUST UNDER HALF WAY, THEN INSERT THE AERIAL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RETUNE.
This method was successful on my TV I hope it is for others.
The problem is caused by the Mendip transmitter gathering duplicate frequencies from other transmitters.
I hope this information is useful to others.

Like many others I have lost ITV4,Film4& Yesterday Channels; having retuned. I am furious because I recently purchasd a new TV and had a digital aerial installed with a power booster to receive these Channels. My postcode is BS48 2US; is there anything that can be done to retrieve these channels?
