Below are all of Stephen's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.When I search for channels on ch33 which is meant to be com7 the freeview hd box lists the wrong channels. It lists the PSB3 channels which should be on ch40. When I try to watch them it says "Service unavailable". This is quite an old freeview HD box from 2010. Why is this happening. Wanted to see the new HD channels and I cant..

Yes , it is an HD Box. I have no problem watching the HD channels on PSB3 ch 40. The weird thing is though , when I scan for the new channels which should be on ch 33 it finds the same old stations BBC2 HD etc... only it wont display them it says service unavailable. If it was just interference on ch 33 locally I still dont understand why it lists the wrong channels ??

Whenever it finds anything on ch33 com7 it means all the HD Channels stop working. If I just scan for ch40 PSB3 in isolation I can watch the old HD channels. Whatever is on ch33 com7 it doesn't like and confuses it somehow ?? It is very odd , almost like some kind of co-channel interference but there shouldn't be any ? It could be software related I suppose...

I live really close to Sutton Coldfield transmitter , in Lichfield .I have a Ferguson FDH F02HDB receiver ,it's quite old. I can only get the old mutilplex + BBC3HD. I cannot get the new channels BBC4 etc.. I have tried manually tuning on 33 and 40 but the box seems to get confused and then it doesn't pick up anything. It wont list BBC4 HD it shows the same channels on both multiplexes which is weird ???
