Rosalind Goodyear: For manual tuning, you need to scan these transponders:
service frequency polarisation symbol-rate

Rosalind Goodyear: If the TV is an LG then the Manual Tuning option will not be offered whilst Freesat is in operation.
You have to first select Automatic Tuning, where you can choose between Freesat and Other Operators.
Choose Other Operators and back out. You will be warned that all Freesat channels will be deleted if you proceed.
The Manual Tuning option will now be available.
The satellite for Manual Tuning defaults to Astra1 -19.2 degrees East, which is the wrong satellite, so you have to Add Satellite Astra2 - 28.2 degrees East.
It should now be possible to select satellite2 and the transponder list for it.
Choose the transponder you want to scan and Add.
The services will be added to the channels list.

"The area where reception of two ITV regions is intended"
The area where reception of two ITV regions is intended | RXTV info
A bit of tropo brought in BBCA, D3&4 and BBC B, off Ridge Hill a while ago and I grabbed samples of the multiplexes.
The article, linked to above, says "Changes to the signal were recently made as part of the 700MHz 5G clearance project, allowing the extra ITV service to continue - a luxury when frequencies are being repurposed for mobile services - but with new parameters to ensure a robust signal despite the various changes to TV frequencies in the area. New data from digitalbitrate.com confirms the ITV West multiplex on UHF channel 29 (538MHz) carries ITV West Country on its own, plus around 6Mbps of empty capacity."
Perhaps someone should tell Freeview, or DUK, or whoever it is that manages the NIT, about the changes.
Unfortunately C29 is occupied by Haslingden BBC B at my location so no chance of getting a sniff of that multiplex.
Note that, contrary to the service tables, digitalbitrate does not show E4+1 as being present on that multiplex:
http://www.digitalbitrate…g=en
Here is a summary, generated by my SI parser, of the service tables off the Ridge Hill BBC B.
Note the two D3&4 multiplexes and their Target Regions and transmission parameters:

Oops. A round-up edit of 12148.50 H went awry: PICK ROI is on 12149H not 121489H!

I've been following an interesting thread about some LG TVs not handling BBC and ITV HD transmissions, and a fix using two 20dB variable attenuators!
LG Freesat bbc hd signal issue | AVForums
All BBC and ITV HD transmissions use the same modulation:

I have one of the models cited but don't have any problems with those transponders. I think it may be LNB dependent.
The owners of the affected TVs seem to have found a fix by putting two variable 20dB attenuators in series, namely these:
Satellite or Cable TV Variable 0-20dB Signal Attenuator F Type with Short Cable 5060507532225 | eBay
The modulation of the transponder the 147 Pick is on has not been seen by Freesat devices before:
12363.00 V 27500 2/3 DVB-S2 8PSK
Pick
It will be interesting to see how they cope with it.

Chris.SE: Would you care to elaborate? "COM8 ... it is not currently transmitting with a 167kHz offset"
It most certainly is from Winter Hill: C56-, 753.833MHz,
