Chris.SE: Thanks for the response. I certainly did notice and was able to receive COM7 channels for some considerable time (years) up to late summer last year. Previous attempts to retune usually lose the channels on the MPX, and weather conditions can affect reception/tuning. As we speak, the MPX is unavailable again. I've never quite appreciated why Ch 106 & 107 haven't been reallocated to the higher power MPXs, but I 'm only a humble member of the public and recall reading somewhere that the channels on COM7 are lower priority or have lower viewing figures which isn't surprising as they are transmitted on lower power! Cheers.

I don't understand it. There have been two FREEVIEW channel updates recently and I see I can now again get BBCHDNews on Freeview CH107 (MPX Com7 transmitted on low power from Beckley). I lost all the COM7 channels from mid to late 2020 and had assumed the reorganisation meant that that was the end of that.
So why can I receive COM7 again. Using a wideband highgain aerial with high signal strength (10) and low dropout on most of the other channels. So no changes here.
Be good to have an explanation please?
