Like many others, I lost Mux 2 on 13 April in NG8 postcode using Waltham. I have a rooftop aerial which serves a Humax 9300 upstairs and a Humax 9200 downstairs. The Humax 9300 retuned no problem and picked up Ch31. I have tried many times to retune the Humax 9200 downstairs and it is having none of it. I've read through numerous threads and cannot believe that all of these similar issues are coincidental.

Any bright ideas would be gratefully received..?

I recall an advertising slogan "it's good to talk"! It's amazing how such an obvious thing can be missed when you get so embedded and frustrated with it! However, this might just lead me to either having a problem with the reception downstairs or needing to acquire a new PVR?

I'll give it a try later - thanks Steve.

You refer to the workaround for the Humax 9200 - add the "8k" channel manually (C62 for Selkirk, for example) and then to do this procedure after switchover is complete: My Freeview box has no EPG...

But if you manually scan for the channel and then retune with the aerial out won't it delete the channel that you manually scanned in?

Sorry I must be being very thick - if I manually tune the channel and then do a full re-tune/factory reset won't it clear the manually tuned channel anyway?

Sadly, it won't pick anything up on ch31 so it looks like I need to buy a new PVR?

I have 1.00.23 and it was indeed set to C36. Are you suggesting I should change the RF output to a different channel? I've changed to other channels and undertaken a default setting but it still will not pick up anything on C31.

Any other ideas?
