Amanda Thompson: If you are using Winter Hill for reception of BBC NW, are you able to try a manual tune on C50? What is the strength and quality reading when C50 is entered in the manual tune menu? If you are not using Winter Hill if you supply your postcode, or that of a nearby shop a check can be made of which transmitters are available at your location.

David: When scanning for channels start the scan with the aerial unplugged, to miss out the Moel-Y-Parc signals, but plug it in at C46 to catch the Winter Hill frequencies. Otherwise enter the Winter Hill frequencies manually (if your receiver allows) after first clearing the channel list.

Kevin: If a manual tune shows no signal on C49 and C50 are you using a communal aerial? If so your landlord or housing management company will need to be contacted in order to make adjustments. If it is your own aerial check for single frequency interference from a VCR or Sky box with the RF modulator set to C49/50. Also try repositioning any aerial fly leads and HDMI cables in case there is any interaction with each other or the receiver.

Cathy and Ray Renfrey: Does BBC1 NW appear in the 800s of the channel list? If so this is simply because the frequency for BBC Wales is found first during the scan for channels, so occupies position 1 in the channel list.

Margaret: The frequency of the mux which carries the BBC channels has been changed to C50, so try a manual tune on C50 and also, if Sky News is missing, C49.

richard green: You should have good reception of all services according to the reception predicter. If your aerial points NW and is mounted with the rods horizontal you should be tuned to Emley Moor. If it is pointing roughly SW with the rods vertical you should receive signals from Crosspool. Emley Moor Frequencies are C44, 47, 48, 51 and 52. Crosspool frequencies are C24, 27, 39, 42, 45. Make sure that the TV is tuned to the transmitter that the aerial is pointing to. Also check that cables and connectors are in good condition and of course that the aerial appears to be in place.

Steve: Are you using a communal aerial? If so it might require adjusting to accommodate the new frequency introduced recently. If it is your own aerial, or a correctly equipped communal aerial, make sure that the receiver is storing channels for the correct transmitter for the aerial. Signals from Barton House or Ilchester Crescent could in some situations be tuned in when, for example, the aerial is pointing to Mendip. In that situation, as a workround try scanning for channels with the aerial unplugged until about C46, then plug it in to cover the Mendip frequencies. For Ilchester Crescent frequencies insert the aerial at about C36. Otherwise clear the channel list, then do a manual tune for each of the frequencies for muxes from the desired transmitter.

Charlie Maunsell: What is the signal on C49 reading. If not a communal aerial, is the aerial coupled to a second aerial? Also check for other equipment, such as VCR or Sky box with thr RF modulator set to C50. Try repositioning HDMI cables and aerial fly leads in relation to each other, and the receiver, in case there is any interaction between them.

David Rogers: If the original channel positions now consistently say no signal it suggests that the old frequency remains stored in these locations. If there is a channel delete facility on your receiver delete all those channels that report "no signal" and then re-tune. If using Winter Hill direct, manual tune C50 if the reciver permits manual tuning. If there is no channel delete facility do a factory reset to clear the channel list. Then do a complete scan with the aerial unplugged, as some receivers appear to need convincing that there really are no channels! Plug the aerial back in and scan for channels, or manually insert the frequencies of each mux for the transmitter you are using.

Mark: Try a manual tune on C50, What is the signal strength and quality indicated when C50 is selected in the manual tune menu?
