I have just set-up a new PVR (Humax FVP-5000T) as my previous one from EchoStar (HDT-610R) died yesterday. The new PVR is not picking up a couple of channels that the other one did (STV Local and TruTV, possibly others that I haven't noticed are gone as well).

Any ideas why this is and how I can get those channels (specially TruTV)?

Postcode area EH48 1RH

Thank you for time.

StevensOnln1: Thank you mate

My aerial is actually pointed at Blackhill, but on the manual tuning function its the Craigkelly UHF frequency that I am getting intermittent signal flashes from, nothing from Blackhill at all.

Still unable to to actually get the channels. Trying very hard to grab it when the strength and quality bar show any reception, but its only appearing for 0.5 - 3.0 secs at most every 10 minutes or so.

May need to get aerial engineer out, either for a new aerial or to reposition this one so its getting maximum signal out of Craigkelly.

~Thank you again.

John Robinson: Hey John

Thank you for the list. Unfortunately it seems whatever was done today has screwed me over, as I have lost more than half the channels I should be getting. Only getting 49 out of 111. I've manually retuned to those frequencies and despite my box telling me I've got 100% signal quality and 80-90% signal strength, no channels on many on the muxes.

These are the muxes that I have lost since the engineers did whatever they did:

29: 85% Str / 100% quality
31: 85% Str /100% quality
37: 84% / 100%
55: 84% / 100%
56: 83% / 100%

Thanks folks for the help and advice. Much appreciated.

Back up and running again. Turn it off, let its memory clear and then full automatic retune got me up and running again.
