Ant: Yes ch. 45 for the BBC channels. But I'm not convinced that it is at full power yet (see above).

Briantist: As I understand it, the direction restrictions will remain until Guildford analogue is switched off.
For whatever reason, the BBC mux, which was my strongest before the switchover, is now my worst by a long way. All other muxes are showing 100 signal quality.

They seem to have fixed it. I'm now getting 100% for signal quality on BBC A, with 75% signal level.

Kieran R: Only the BBC channels have been affected by the Hannington DSO. I suspect that you may be picking up signals from more than one transmitter on your retune.

Gh: Your problem is not the aerial. It's just that you are picking up some signals from the wrong transmitter. As DSO progresses and the power is increased, more distant transmitters become receivable which perhaps were not when you previously tuned your receiver. Without knowing your location, it's difficult to suggest a method to scan channels from only the correct trasnmitter. Manually tuning 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46 will give only Hannington channels (until 22nd Feb).

The multiple Transmitter Engineering messages are very confusing as they seem to be mixing up today with yesterday. This is not helpful.

Gh: For the ITV, Ch4, Ch5 etc. manually tune to 43. You will probably need to delete any existing ITV, Ch4, Ch5 etc. channels first.
Alternatively, if possible do a factory reset, pull out the aerial lead and start the scan, just before ch.40 (or about 1/3 through the scan) replace the aerial connection. This will prevent it from finding Crystal Palace channels.

Brian Jonson: There will be a significant increase in signal strength in April after the London switchover.
There should be smaller increases in signal strength at each stage of the Hannington switchover, but I'm not seeing it so far (see above).
