Since the changeover on the Oxford transmitter we have had problems with all the channels except BBC.

Our box appears to be picking up a signal from another transmitter, meaning that channels 3,4,5, etc. have a very weak signal that means that it often impossibel to get a picture.

The channels are duplicated, from what I assume is Oxford, in the 800-899 range, with excellent signal and quality.

Is there anyway to force our box, a Humax F2 Fox T receiver, to ignore the weaker signal and pick up the correct channels.

Thanks guys

I ended up doing a factory reset and manually tuning each mux.

The Humax box didn't ask me for a transmitter and there no channel count on the progress bar when it's searching and after three goes without the aerial plugged in, I gave up :)

Anybody having problems with C62 on the Oxford Transmitter. We're receiving all the other channels with at least 81% strength and 100% quality, but nothing on 62, which is showing as "no or bad signal". I've tried an automatic search and a manual one with no success. We are getting the Programme Guide, which I thought was transmitted on the same channel!

Thanks in advance

I'm in the primary receiving area for the Oxford transmitter so I'm not sure what is going on, but having done a factory reset on my box and re-scan I've found all of the channels that should be on channel 62 but on channel 41.

We're not close enough to any other transmitter to pick up a viewable signal so not sure I'm not sure why it's working on a different channel, especially as others are still wokring on 62, but we've got QVC back, oh joy :)

Yeah, I figured we were probably picking it up from another aerial, but we're getting 60% strength and 100% quality and a rock solid picture, so I'm tempted to leave it as it is at the moment.

Last time, I did a factory reset and then a manual tune of channel, which picked everything up from Oxford.

Anybody know why 62 is cutting out?

I now have an HD receiver, two in fact, neither is able to get BBC4 HD and BBC NEWS HD although I am getting a strong signal on the SD channels and other HD ones.

Any ideas?

My Post seems not to have appeared so I'm re-posting

I now have a Freeview HD box and an HD PC tuner, I've tuned both in to the Oxford transmitter and can receive the main HD channels but I cannot get BBC4 HD or anything else on C31 on either.

My signal strength for the SD channels and the HD ones I can receive is good and I have tried a manual tune for this channel.

Any ideas?

According to the guide CBS Reality + "19 others" should be on channel 50 and Movies4Men + "11 others" on the Oxford transmitter. Does anybody know if these channels are actually broadcasting?

I'm getting all of the others on 50 and 59, just not these two.

Thanks
