jb38: I bypassed the fringe dist unit and I get no signal at all.
Both neighbours nearby have sky so I cant compare freeview Coms with them!
I now think my only option is to get an engineer out to reposition the aerial and hope for the best!
Thanks for all your help and taking the time to respond :)

jb38: Yes i by-passed it exactly as you described above, rescanned and no channels were found!
Actually I have a friend who lives approx 1 -2miles from here and they receives all the freeview channels!
Im hoping based on the fact that we used to get all channels before DSO,that we can get them again!
Once I have an update I'll post it here.
Thanks again.

flipdee: yes all the sockets are working fine.
Wayne Cochran: Before the DSO our aerial was set up by an engineer to point at divis.
The checks I did initially showed we were getting signal from Divis. But on your suggestion I checked again and now on investigation I think we are getting Brougher Mountain as we are picking up PSB1 on UHF 28 and PSB2 on UHF 22. Could the recenet inclement weather be the reason for this?
Also we can pick up our Irish channels from Cairn Hill UHF 47 or Clermont Carn UHF 52 with equal quality. Can get the Monaghan transmitter on UHF 55 but quality is poorer!

Wayne Cochran: I have an engineer calling out, to hopefully sort it out. Once its sorted I'll post the findings here!
Thanks for your input :)

Dave Lindsay: I got the azimuth for divis and moved the aerial ourselves. We are now getting two of the coms - com 5 and 6, but cant get com4! The quality is not great on coms, it comes and goes! I'm still waiting on the engineer to come out and hopefully his professional equipment will find the optimal positioning!

jb38: No we can not get the COMs on any other boxes.
Only wen i add the channel manually will it appear in the tv list (using main tv or echostar) then once i check the signal within the guide its level varies but quality always 0 e.g. ITV3
Before the DSO we got ALL channels at the same set up/position of aerial.
Yes we are about 42miles from Divis and are within the green area on the map above.
So you reckon we need to maybe move the aerial slightly? even though before DSO we got all channels fine?
Thanks for your help!
