Hi. Since the Winter Hill mux changes on the 21/01/2018 (if I recall the date correctly) both of my Digital Stream PVRs have been affected by something being transmitted in COM7 and / or COM8. Both PVRs end up with corrupted firmware and require a firmware reinstallation; the symptoms are either stuck at 'loading' when switched on from stand-by, or stuck at 'bye' when switched off. If left disconnected to the aerial feed then they remain fine (but obviously cannot record anything). If manually tuned to all but Channel 31 and 37 (COM7 and COM8) they remain fine. This is not 4G interference; I have filters which do work (no more pixellation or blocking). I am not the only Digital Stream user suffering from this problem. I know that these are old machines, but they are excellent devices, and apart from the COM7 / COM8 problem, continue to give good service. Can some technical person please look into this? I understand that something similar happened a couple of years ago, and it turned out to be corrupted EPG data. Could this be the same kind of issue> Help would be appreciated, since I would like to be able to record BBC4 HD once again, but currently dare not tune into it (it is on channel 31 - COM 7). Many thanks.
