Might as well mention that Film 4 (ch 15) is now missing (Ely).
It was on 67 - then became unobtainable last week - despite a re-tune or two subsequently - with Sky News (ch.82) now on 67 instead of 40.
Nothing else appears to be missing - so why Film 4??

Thanks for response.
Set top box Bush DFTA11 (wasn't/isn't on the 'splitnit' page: which problem caused the Sony Wega 28" (KD28DX50U) no longer capable of tuning digital channels).

ITV4 is also missing (mainly watch Film 4 - hence the frustration) - with 800< channels on 22/25/30/54/61 (plus 24/27/31/67 in the normal range)...but no ITV4/Film4 there either..

Looks like another set-top box is now required?

Just to add - looks like those you mentioned on Sept 1st are also missing - [multiplex D/ArqB] - but still can get 'the junk'....

Any recommendations (ie: set-top box) appreciated.

Thanks: a bit confusing that!
Did expect '48' to take-over on 14 Sept; but there's absolutely no signal ('40' now lost: previously 'marginal' + '29': even more marginal, so there was some improvement before this last change).
Most of the others quoted are 'new numbers' @ virtually 'full-power' for the main-range: so presumably an aerial upgrade ('wideband'): but it seems (to me) odd that this should be required for '48' when the existing (10yo UHF installation) picks-up 'everything else'...despite the plethora of recent changes.
