Rachel: If whilst viewing Film4 the message comes on informing you that Film4 is moving then its not being viewed from its new position on the PSB2 (ITV1) transmitter, as that message is only being sent out on the transmitter associated with Film4's old slot on COM6.
Should this be the case then remove the aerial and carry out an auto-tune whilst its removed to blank out the channels already stored, once completed reconnect the aerial and check that nothing is being indicated in the programme guide list (which it shouldn't be!) if not then carry out a final auto- tune to reload the programmes back into your TV or box.
If though you are only complaining about the message then just delete it, or dependant on the brand of the TV or box being used go into the set up menu and disable channel update messages, if whatever you are using allows!
Further advice can only be given when accompanied by a post code or one from nearby, e.g: a shop / post office, plus the model number of the device being used for reception.

roy taylor: To add to that said by Dave Lindsay, when you select BT sport 1 or 2 on programme guide numbers 58 / 59 a caption should appear on the screen stating "encrypted channel" if though it doesn't can you receive (24) ITV4? as its on the same multiplex as the two sport channels referred to (COM6), however BT sport on (57) is not as its on the same multiplex as ITV3 (COM4/ SDN).

Stuart.Lillie: BT are not involved with the transmission side of the equation and what you have reported indicates that you are receiving a poor quality signal from the COM6 multiplex.
Further advice can only be given with knowledge of your post code, or at least one from somewhere nearby e.g: a shop/post office as it impossible to assess the situation without this info.
If by any chance you are receiving from Hannington then engineering work is in progress at that station.

bikeman: Film4 on any properly retuned equipment is on the the PSB2 multiplex (ITV1 etc) with programme guide number 15, however in some instances it might also be seen on 791 simply because that its original stream on COM6 has not as yet been removed on some transmitters, in other words its being transmitted on two different multiplexes at the same time, PSB2 and COM6.

Paul: The only change made at the Knockmore transmitter was that its COM6 Ch60 frequency was slightly lowered so as to operate with a negative offset, i.e: 786.0Mhz down to 785.8Mhz.
By the way ITV3 is on the COM4/SDN multiplex whereas STV is on PSB2 Ch23, have you tried to "manually" tune in this channel? but though with these type of problems its usually always best to remove the aerial and carry out an auto-tune to blank out anything stored, then carry out a second auto-tune AFTER having reconnected the aerial.
If this makes no difference then the box should be completely reset.

Gemma: Irrespective of whether or not you are receiving any channels there should always be something seen on the screen if menu is pressed.
Are you using a Freeview TV or a Freeview box? if its the latter then check that the boxes scart connector is fully seated into its socket.
Knowledge of your post code or one from nearby (shop/post office) would also be of assistance by this enabling access to the reception predictor etc, plus more detailed tuning advice "might" possibly be given if you supplied the model number of the TV or box being used.

G: The procedure used to access the installer menu on a Sky+HD box is different from that used on a Sky+ box, insomuch that you press "services" then use the right arrow to navigate away from "Options" to
"Settings" which on pressing same "Picture" should be highlighted, follow this by pressing: "0 - 1 - Select" and the "Set up" tab should be highlighted, you then use the right arrow button to scroll along the list until you see "RF out", pressing on bringing up the menu indicating channel and power out settings.

Paul: Pleased to see that that the factory default procedure cured the problem, as starting afresh is about the only way of clearing a digital receivers memory system of any form of corrupted data that may have been picked up during the carrying out of a previous procedure.

Derek : The problem could be caused by fault in your aerial system or even just a defective jumper lead from an aerial wall socket, should one be used! however no-one is in a position to provide more detailed advice without having knowledge of your post code or alternatively one from somewhere nearby, e.g: a shop/post office, as this would then enable an assessment to be made of the reception expected at your location as well as details of the source of, meaning transmitter station.
