TN38 9RS Hollington Park.
It's been working perfectly, right until Sunday morning, nothing changed.
Sometimes before HD channels were a little flaky if the weather was windy etc but otherwise rock solid.
All other channels work fine, just the psb1 bbca as I noted. Seems unlikely coincidence it's just these channels that are messed up.

Thanks, I'm onto something :) with helpful hints from Hollington Pk thread.
Seems I'm not on Hollington park (bad reception despite being close) but Hastings.
The problem is when I use auto tuning it uses ch24 for bbca when it should be using ch25.
Why this has changed I don't know, and as I said was fine before. All good now though until next glitch.
My tv has an LNA setting, it now says 25 and it's on. Before it was 22 I think. How it got to this ??? I can't see any way to even set it. does ch22 transmit the wrong info to tell my tv how to tune?
So, I did a test, Turned it off again and did a rescan. Still managed to set itself to 25.
I can't set a 'zone' i.e. Kent, but i do have digital auto service update. Clearly something got out of whack, whether it be a mistake or a different transmitter ot something I don't know. No local transmitters with 24 at all, so it's a mystery :)
Tv is 1yr old Sony bravia with latest firmware etc. no changes before problem at all!

Dave, thanks :) the ch22/ch55 put me on the right track to finding the problem.

Agree.
That or Mountfield which is very close had a hiccup and reset itself to the pre-switchover c24! Thanks again. Radio 6 in glorious 128kbps.

Ive had no problems at all until yesterday - 27.05.
We have 2 new HD tv's in the house. One has a roof ariel, the other a set top ariel. both have been working flawlessly but the one with the set top ariel now cannot recieve psb1 bbca
I mailed the at800 people (it seemed likely that it was a signal overloading issue) but they say no 800 at all in this area.
All other channels work fine just as before, HD also no problems. I've re-tuned in standard and deep scan mode and it finds all the channels but when i try and watch it says - no signal.
Anyone got any ideas?
