This seems like an interesting thread, but I have associated but probably different problems.

STV1 & C4 disappeared recently - I'm assuming something to do with the 31st July chanages at Knockmore (our local transmitter).

Retuning makes no difference.

The box shows good quality/signal strength for both channels, but no picture. Some other channels on PSB2, like ITV3 are still ok.

The encoding looks identical to that used for PSB1 (BBC1, etc), which works fine, so I think that I can discount the box (Fortec Star FS-3100, firmware from 2006), though a TV in another room works fine (which would suggest the box).

So does anyone know that details of what changed on the 31st July, and why it might show up these symptoms?

Thanks!

Sorry meant ITV2 (not ITV3) missing. It is all on C23/PSB2.

For C23 channels, the box showed Signal Intensity at 81% and Quality at 97%. But no picture.

Tried a manual retune on just C23, but to no effect.

Restored Factory Defaults, and rescanned. Lo and behold it is back! Odd, but there you are.

Thanks, jb38. Much appreciated.
