Hello,
Live in Basingstoke, receiving from Hannington (I think!).
Up until yesterday all was well, but last night and today there has been no reception of any mux A channels... Tried rescanning and done a reset as per instructions on this site but to no avail... Any ideas knowledgeable folk?!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Briantist,
The full postcode is RG22 4DJ.
As for single frequency interference, I have no other equipment attached by or using RF, so it can't be that (i guess - unless wi-fi, wireless phones etc have an effect?). I have no idea if a wideband aerial is fitted or needed so not sure about that one. Seems weird that I used to get the channels though...!

Thanks for the comments TVTuner. Very frustrating it is! Being in a rented house makes me reluctant to do much about the aerial. There is however a Sky dish on the house, so may look at getting freesat or freesat from Sky...

That is very cheap!
A friend has passed on to me his sky digibox. Reception is fine, so I now know the dish is properly set up. The lack of channel 5 is annoying though (I have added it to the extra channels section, but no EPG is a pain).
So I have a choice of no Mux A channels, or no 5* 5USA etc...!!
Maybe I should get a viewing card from Sky?
What are peoples thoughts?
Stick with Sky and put up with it, buy a viewing card, buy a freesat box...???
