I live in Central London and until a few days ago I had an old Wharfedalefreeview box and indoor aerial and was able to receive all freeview channels with no major problems.
After the Wharfedale went bang (quite literally), I tried other freeview boxes, aerial boosters, amplified indoor aerials and even a freeview+ box (which I was told would receive a stronger signal), but alas no matter what I do I can't get some of the channels back, particular the ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 group of channels.
What did that old Wharfedale box have that these other new appliances don't have? I have tried retuning so many time I could do the process with my eyes closed. Any suggestions welcome.
Oh and the old box was run through my old video machine. I presume that would offer no real benefit to the signal?
