I'm getting perfect signal on C29 channels, but no signal or extreme breakup on C32, which makes no sense. C32 is the only group of channels we're having problems with.
And the best signals before 12/08 were BBC1 on 751.
Any clues?

Thanks Chris.
No, we were getting fine BBC1 on 1, when our box died, we got a BT youview box, which we then discovered the best signal through this box was 751. My tuner in my PC also had no problems with BBC1 on 1, and I never had bbc1 on 751.
Same aerial, 2 leads from it.
Googling discovered that the box itself is notorious for not picking the best signal for the LCN's apparently, and we put it down to that, as we can pick up a dodgy signal from Wales and West Midlands.

When the retune required on the 12th, made the 751 BBC1 disappear, we tried both aerial cables through the TV (not the box) to determine if it was one of the cables or the box.

Both cables from the aerial, tv, pc tuner and box are now only picking up bad C32 channels.
And yes we were and are picking up LCN 7, which is Liverpool TV. Again, no signal problems.

If it was a case of wrong group aerial, why would it pick of c29 channels with a perfect signal, but not c32 channels? (or is my assumption that 29 is before 32 doesn't apply in this case?).

Hi Steve,
No, the only 800 we have is BBC 1 Wales, which isn't a great signal either.

I have no problem with this being "I need a new aerial" I just don't understand why it's only channels on the C32 we have signal problems with; All the other channels are completely fine, with high signal and quality.
