I have retuned my boxes and now have the weak I lacked, except that one box, my main one which is also my pvr, will not get Challenge. It goes to channel 47 directly after ch 42, then jumps again to channel 70. Any ideas please?

Help please.
Here at , where we used to occasionally get Challenge, Pick and Yesterday on their very low , and ITV 3 on 14 kw, now, since 24 June, we have lost numerous channels. No change of high , but now only 21 tv channels. I find channels on the mux on ch 41, and 44, but nothing else, although it hovers on 56 but finds nothing. As regards channels on the box itself, we skip from 9 to 13, 14, then to 28, then 33, then blank to 70. I cannot understand how a change to better channels for various muxes, and high power, has resulted in this terrible outcome.

Thanks Dave, but am still mystified that higher has done so much damage. I have actually tried my box in two houses and therefore different aerials, results identical. I assume the frequencies/power really have been changed and that the table above our comments is out of date. Even stranger is that 10 miles south of I had a big on , to getting a box. At Dover , rather than take the aerial down and go onto , I wondered if I could get digital from Dover, well out of range. I get the lot!. [at present.] I would be interested to know if others have this problem with Sudbury, even lost ITV 3.

Thanks to all who are trying to, but before they messed about on June 27, ITV 3 was always good at 14kw, now not at all, and those weak ones on even came in occasionally. Now, with high , all has gone to pot. I can't see how those other distant transmitters can somehow now be blamed. Please confirm that all muxes are now on 100kw, contrary to what the table on this page shows.

Thanks Mark,
I was actually talking about two different locations, can't get , but can 10 miles south, so it is not my solution.
I am quite pleased to see Ben has similar problems.
I guess if plays up, I had better try , but so difficult to align the to Sud or Tac when the Aldeburgh 'light' tx wants to log itself on.

Thanks Dave,
I think perhaps I will hang on a bit and see what happens. Yes, I used to get ITV 3 fine on 14kw, now gone, and occasionally Challenge and Pick on 3kw, now also gone. I think they must be playing about with the xmitter. I noted a viewer in was only getting the muxes on ch 41 and 44, which is all I get now. I have tried my box at two locations in with good aerials, same result. I reckon if people have to go through all the contortions you suggest to get all channels, those who devised this system should be strung up! Thanks for all your info.
