Below are all of Helen's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Yes, as I said, I turned off everything that could possibly be interfering and it made no difference. I've looked at the wideband aerial page but it seems unlikely to me that the "primary" channels would be the ones not showing up in that case, though I may be wrong.

Okay, going through that in order - 1. The signal hasn't changed; I haven't been able to get it to work at all since we hooked up the TV a month ago. 2. All other channels are fine, perfect picture and reception. 3. Analogue signal is fine. 4. No variation as far as I can tell, channels just don't work whenever I go to them, it's not a sometimes-working sometimes-not scenario. 5. Cables are all brand new. 6. I cannot check the aerial as it is on top of our block of flats; if the problem turns out to be absolutely definitely the aerial I can ask our landlords to do something about it, but I'm reluctant to do so unless I'm really sure that's the problem 7. I would expect that weather related problems would also affect other channels?

I'm in OX4 and for some reason I just can't get anything on Mux 1 - i.e. all the core BBC channels. All the others are fine and great quality, it's just this mux that isn't coming through. I've tried rescanning channels several times on both my freeview box (BT Vision) and just by scanning for channels on the TV itself. I've turned off and unplugged all game consoles, the BT Vision box itself, the DVD player - reduced it down to the aerial cable plugged into the TV itself - and the channels are still unwatchable (jumpy picture and sound, blocky). I don't understand why it's the mux with the strongest signal that's not getting through...
