John Haynes: Unless the signals are being picked by yourself, and you have no way of escaping them, then I am not totally sure what your issue is.

I shall assume that your objection to is that your TV is tuned to it and showing its pictures. Unless you are somehow prevented from accessing your TV, then I do not see how you can be forced to watch it!

Payment of the British does not guarantee access to any TV signals. However, as you are in England and in an area served by which is an English , it begs the question why you, by your own admission, subject yourself to "programs (sic*) WHICH ARE OF NO INTEREST OR USE" ?

* I say "sic" after "programs" because that is the American English way of spelling it. We are in England now and in English English it is spelt "programmes".

It is important to point out that TV signals do not obey borders. The same goes for signals from England into Wales.

Carl k: uses low UHF (22 to 29) wheres uses higher ones (41 to 52). This means that you can run the automatic tuning with the plugged in for Storeton and unplugged for the rest.

As a percentage, unplug at 25% and leave it unplugged until it gets to the end. This will also prevent you from picking up Storeton which uses 53, 57 and 60.

Simo: What do you mean by your tuners "are still picking up the old BBC "?

The you refer to as being "weak to non-existant"; is it that you've picked up the new high power BBC signal from on channel 24 instead of the new high power one from Whitehawk on ? Or the Whitehawk one is in the 800s?

Whilst on a particular programme channel, being up the signal strength screen and hopefully it will tell you the UHF channel it is tuned to so that you can identify which signal it is receiving.

If the problem turns out to be picking up signals from Rowridge, then Rowridge uses low and Whitehawk high ones. So run the automatic tuning with the unplugged for the first 50% of the scan to avoid Rowridge and get Whitehawk.

If your receivers give UHF channels as it scans, then Whitehawk uses channels from 48 upwards.

Miikescki: Not all boxes present this choice of .

Your suggestion is likely to lead to poor or perhaps bouts of poor reception. This is because on selecting "BBC South" you are opting to for your to tune to the signal from and when selecting "" you are opting for .

Those who have two aerials that are combined where one is pointing at Rowridge and one at Whitehawk can obviously choose and should not have issues ensuant.

However, where one has a single aerial that is, by its nature, directed at one particular , it is installed to receive from that transmitter. The results will be unpredictable when used to pick up signals from another direction.
