Below are all of Keith's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Hello. I did an automatic scan last night which worked ok on Sagemcom freeview + recorder but my Toshiba Tv has gained the new Ch4 channel on 47 but has lost Ch5+1, ITV3 etc.
Just tried a manual search for ch.51 and it says "signal quality - none, signal level ..." well looks 75 per cent.
Already had new aerial, new tv, any suggestion please ?

Followed Mark;s instructions, and now everything is Ok except for a poor signal on the problem multiplex on frequency 51, picture freezing most of time, and now also breaking up on other Tv's in house.
Maybe the exceptional weather... but I am fairly certain that the tuner on the Toshiba TV is inferior, and it is at the end of the line as opposed to other TV's and recorders.
On the other hand everything was problem free before I retuned.
Has the signal strength been slightly reduced to accommodate new channels ?
I'll have to experiment a bit over the weekend. Thanks for help.

Well, I've tried everything I can think of.
I can't pick up anything from Sheffield, and just a poor signal from Belmont, so it's down to Emley Moor.
C47 and C48 have very good Signal Quality.
C44 has good Signal Quality
C52 is poor and C51 ranges from Poor to None - these are both unwatchable.
All the "Signal Levels" are about 70 to 75%.
At least I have all the main stations.
The length of cable to the bedroom TV and the fact that it is a Toshiba seem to be a slight detriment to the signal quality. The Toshiba TV is just over a year old, but I have also noticed with my mothers Toshiba that the quality of the tuner is so much poorer than that of the Sagemcom Freeview plus boxes.
And as I have said, until I retuned this week, everything was ok, except an occasional break up on C52.

Thanks Des. Things seem better this evening. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.

Thanks for your reply Dave. I will give it a go on my next visit.
