Mendip (Somerset, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Tuesday 13 August 2013 7:16PM
Cardiff

WE have two roof aerials, one pointed towards Wenvoe, Cardiff (reception strength 10)the other to The Mendips (reception strength 8). Until about a week ago we have been able to view Freeview programmes from either transmitter but cannot now view, for example, BBC 1 West on Mendips (ITV 1 West is ok). If I have read the earlier advice on this site correctly BBC1 West is transmitted on BBCA Channel 49. I have reset/set up all channels two or three times on both my TV and Humax PVR and noticed that while tuning is in progress Channel 45 is followed by C54 (ie no channel 49). I apologise in advance if I have overlooked anything obvious in the guidance/instructions above but would appreciate any advice about what to do next. Many thanks

Hi Dave.
Many thanks for the quick reply and detailed advice. Since the problem only surfaced about a week ago (according to my wife) but I can't be sure does this contradict your reference to the changes that occurred on 27 March this year?
Thanks again
Lionel

Further to my last post yesterday I have now done a manual search on Channel 49 on my Humax PVR9300T and have succeeded in locating the 'missing' Mendip channels. However, my six-year old Panasonic TX-26LMD70A has been unable to find a signal on channel 49.
I am not too concerned about this as we can use the PVR. I should have delved more thoroughly before asking for advice on this forum. I am grateful to Dave Lindsay whose advice helped to put me on the right track.
