Since re-tuning, my Mother-in-Law's (lounge) Panasonic TV cannot get Channel Nos 40 or 70, but the one in her bedroom (cheapo) can, via Ch29.

It looks like the Panasonic can only get channels on Ch34 - how do I get it to scan Ch29?

We are in Bolton, ~8 miles from Winter Hill.

Chris.SE: I will try what you said with Portable TV.

The reason I mentioned UHF C29 was that (I think), this is the only one which carries Ch70 - Horror, which is what my mother-in-law misses - No Jokes about MiL's and Horror please. :-)

From what I remember yesterday, I tried all Cs around 34 (up and down), as part of a Manual Retune, once the repeated Automatic ones had failed.

Chris.SE: Based on what you said, I tried the problem TV in the bedroom, and that did get everything, so I now know it it the aerial signal downstairs.

I am going to check / renew all of the connections and if that doesn't fix it, it must be the aerial itself, or its connection. I'm not going onto the roof, so that will mean getting someone in.

Thanks for your help.
