Neil: ITV4 etc is on a much lower powered Mux transmitter until 14th of this month when a further re-tune will be required, as it then changes from Mux Ch67 to Mux Ch48.

Doug B: You are possibly suffering from the reverse of many experiencing problems with HD from Crystal Palace on Mux Ch31, this because of Sandy also using that frequency on a temporary basis until May of next year.
In other words Crystal Palace HD is likely to be affecting your reception from Sandy.

gibson: If you are referring to Waltham, then its likely that when you re-scanned you have picked up a number of (if not all!) channels with lower numbers from Sutton Coldfield or Belmont, as indications show that this is possible from your location.
Waltham uses Mux channels 29 - 54 - 56 - 57 - 58 - 61, so whilst viewing any channel that might be breaking up, carry out a signal strength / quality check noting the Mux channel number being shown, and if its not one on the list its not from Waltham.
By the way, you might not receive Mux Ch29 very good,as its on lower power until October 12th.

john Fuller: Sorry, on reading you posting again I see that you did "not" actually manage to carry out the LNB reset as you couldn't find it in the list, however I would consider that to be a plus point as its very unlikely that any fault of this nature actually existed with the LNB anyway, so you have only two choices left, the first to verify your dish.
(1) Temporarily acquire another working box to check if any reception is possible from your dish, if not then take measures to re-align it, as that's what it will be provided some form of signal indication can be seen at some point on a Sat detector (even simple types) when the dish is "slowly" swung from left to right, although if not, then that could mean an LNB failure.
(2) Should you not manage to acquire another box try and find someone who will let you try your box on their dish, (you cannot damage their LNB by doing this) and once connected go into "services - 4 - 6" and observe if any signal is showing, if it is then carry out the software upgrade procedure as seen in "Re-set method 3", as this "might" get over anything minor lost by what you have done. (no guarantees though!)
Should of course no signal be showing then it doesn't look very promising, as there might have been a fault with the box itself before you even touched it.
By the way if you know any obliging person with a Freesat box, you could use that to test your dish.

sandra: You would really have to provide your post code for an answer of any accuracy, this required for signal checking purposes.

David Phillips: These programmes, as well as a number of others, are on two multiplexes (ArqA / ArqB) operating on low power (4Kw) until November 23rd.

margie: If you are enquiring about reception, then you should be getting good reception from Anglia (Sandy) on the main (BBC/BBC HD/ITV) channels, although others are on lower power and can possibly suffer from break up depending on exactly where you are located within PE29.

Joanne Pollard: Is the TV in the other room working on the same aerial as the front room? and if not what is it working on?

Joanne Pollard: Just in addition to what was mentioned.
You should always be aware of the fact that a signal that's too strong can cause "exactly" the same symptoms as one that is too weak, and if the TV in the other room is on a different aerial, or is coupled directly into the loft one, then an over powerful signal could possibly be causing problems for it.
The reason I say this is that no two TV's or boxes have the same sensitivity, and if a signal is a bit on the strong side one TV might appear to work OK whereas another wont, this purely because an over powerful signal can on some sets cause blocking of their tuners, either on that channel or even all of them.
I only mention this with reference to what you mention about your location, as in my opinion you are very likely at some point to start suffering from this type of problem.

andy: As you are referring to a reception issue, its quite impossible for anyone to assist without knowing your location. (post code)
