Oxford (Oxfordshire, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Wednesday 11 February 2015 8:47AM
Witney

OX29 4JZ

I have an unusual problem. I have a Humax Freeview HD PVR downstairs and a TVonics Freeview HD PVR upstairs, off the SAME professionally installed roof aerial.

The Humax now tunes to the Oxford Test Transmission on Channel 8.

However, the TVonics box does not. It has BBC3 on 7 and BBC4 on 9 but manually selecting channel 8 reverts to BBC3 on ch 7?

I have updated all software for the TVonics box and factory resets as well as multiple clearing of channels and retuning. Nothing will bring the Ch 8 Oxford Test transmission up.

Any explanation would be welcomed, please

Thanks for the quick reply. All other devices off this aerial pick up ch8 on 29. My Tvonics is a DTR-Z500HD and even after a channel clean and reset, on manual tune 29 (or 51!) still shows no signal and no channels.

This reminds me of the necessary Vestel chip upgrades via serial cable on the Digihome type boxes I helped with a few years ago when certain muxes could not be seen after a transmission change!?

If I take the aerial out of the PVR and put it directly in the attached HD Freeview TV then 29 picks up ch8 so not a signal strength issue?
