Hello JB38,
Thank you for the response.
I take your point about the PVR101, and indeed I did go through 6 before getting a reliable one with an early O/S!
But my main point is that on April the tenth someone changed something on PSB2. The PVR was OK before that.
I have tried a first time installation of course, but I have not tried tuning manually. Thank you for the suggestion.
Roland Debenham has a good idea though. I can receive Mol y Parc (spelling?) here in Stretford easily, and they might not have cocked that up. If Roland is in the Blackpool area he should be able to as well.

Hi there,
During the shuffle to satisfy the G4 'phone fiasco on the
10th something was changed in Winter Hill's Multiplex PSB2,
and that something upsets my Technosonic PVR101 recorder.
After a rescan (and any number of further rescans) the
channels all appear as expected in the Channel list and EPG,
and can be viewed. But the PVR will NOT record any of the
channels in the PSB2 multiplex - either by direct command or
as timer events. There is no problem recording any other
channels.
If the machine is switched off (not standby - proper off)
for a while all (and only) the PSB2 channels have
disappeared at switch on! A new channel scan results in the
situation as described above.
The only channel I watch in PSB2 is channel 4 (because I
won't watch a channel with a burnt in logo), so it is not a
huge loss, but what bothers me is that there may be a plan
to modify the other multiplexes in the same way, and I then
lose the lot.
I only know two other people with the Technosonic PVR and
their's are affected in the same way - so something has
changed in Multiplex PSB2!
Someone please fix it.

By the way, I did work as an engineer for GTV for 30 years, so I am not totally clueless!
