Waltham (Leicestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitter

LE14 4PE (Waltham transmitter)
just back from holiday, have retuned our TVs - all ok except one attached to an old Pace set-top box which finds only the 24 channels on Mux A (ITV3, QVC, Bid, ITV2+1 etc), have tried attaching to a different aerial that is used by one of the TVs that retuned correctly but still just those 24 channels, this digibox worked fine until the August changeover
- any ideas?

thanks Dominic, yes unfortunately it is on that list... looks like I need to buy a new box!

In the past couple of months, my set-top box has been regularly losing BBC channels, meaning that I have to rescan to get them back again. Almost every time it is brought out of standby, it has lost the BBC channels once again. It was working fine until fairly recently. I am in LE14 postcode area, a few miles from Waltham transmitter. Aerial must be ok as I have connected a new TV with integral Freeview and that does not lose any channels. Could it be that my set-top box is no longer compliant with the current digital transmissions?

Thanks jb38 - I have carried out the reset procedure, everything works fine at first but when it is brought back from standby, all BBC channels (1, 2, 7, 9 and 80) have disappeared. The box is a Technosonic STB 2014.
