Thanks Briantist :o)
Can someone with a 'proper' signal strength meter (ie: not an STB readout) confirm that BBC A is now at full power because there is very little evidence of it here?

Thanks Briantist :o)
My Pioneer STB is showing 91% signal strength across all active channels, exactly the same as before DSO. Not saying it's accurate mind. There are no boosters in the system other than the distrib-amp for the communal system (10 flats).
Our contractor might be reluctant to make adjustments to every block on the estate for something which may only last two weeks.
Will try a makeshift attenuator later to see if that helps.

Hello all Pioneer DBR-TF100GB users (the best STB ever made).
I've been asking around and it seems we're all screwed after DSO. Attenuators won't help, changing aerials won't help. Pioneer are allegedly aware of the problem but aren't interested in helping due to the age of the box.
My guess is it's the combination of 8K and 64QAM which have screwed it. I have a more modern Alba box but it doesn't have the refined features of the Pioneer so I will sorely miss it (sniff).

Dug out my Alba STBX3, bought for £35 from Argos many years ago. Took a few goes to get it to respond to the remote handset (despite brand new batteries) but eventually got it to do a rescan. Now have 109 clear channels and no dupes :o).

(Something went wrong with my previous post and half of it failed to appear!)

Billy: you might want to try turning off automatic updates if your box has that option?

Mux A is definitely on Ch41, not Ch47
Also here in Coventry Mux 1 is now subject to random breakup, it was perfect before.
