SO19 7NR...Southampton..Meridian...All signals say 100% Q. My Aerial can almost see Rowridge
I have two RDR-HXD870 Sony DVD/HD recorders, Same age, same software version (1.7). The EPG on one is complete, but on the other, all channel EPG's on MUX 33 are missing, i.e. Yesterday,Film4,ITV4 etc. BUT all those programmes are present, which I able to record manually
EPG's on Mux's 24-27-30-37 all OK
I have done all the tests including using the same aerial for both. All my TVs are OK. I've scanned with no Aerial to remove channels more than once .I have even re-scanned the good one, to see if MUX 33 disappeared, but it still re-populated the EPG. I can't actually find out how to Factory Reset though.

Since I posted on Thursday, I have contacted a friend (Warsash) who also has the same recorder (RDR-HXD870 Sony). His also does not show the EPG details for MUX 33. So, that is 2 out 3 have failed, & those of Lee's post,above. I tried to get help from Sony support, but couldn't get past signing up or logging on. Mux33 frequency of 570.2, lies inside the outer frequencies of MUX 24=498mhz & Mux 37=602mhz, so it's not out of the tuners range.
It defies logic. It's just a good job that I know it is possible to receive Mux 33 ,because it works on one of my machines
