Dave Lindsay: Thanks for your help. Reception of COM7 channels is fine, COM8 is non-existent .

Dave Lindsay: tried the manual tuning option - unable to tune in any programmes on CH30 or CH35 - tv goes through the process of searching & tells me there is nothing there.
Grid aerial is mounted horizontally (had to wait for daylight to confirm this).

Dave Lindsay: I don't have any of the BBCB channels - I tried switching to 101 but just get message on screen saying invalid DVB channel

Dave Lindsay: I think you may be right - one of the tvs connected to this aerial is an old Panasonic, which is the one I have been using to test. I cannot get any of the BBCB channels on this TV, but I am sure I used to be able to get Film4+1on it previously.
The other TV is a fairly new Samsung, whichI have retuned(yet again) and it has "re-found" Film4+1 - the other HD channels are still there, but reception is very iffy- picture breaks up.

Dave Lindsay: Looks like I'll either have to replace the Panasonic or put up with not having those channels then.The Samsung is a fairly new TV,46" screen, purchased Dec2012 and is FreeviewHD with 3D. The Samsung is tuned to UHF channel 30. Haven't tried a different aerial yet as it's a long way up to our roof (big old house) and going up & down ladders isn't my favourite occupation.
However, if you think I would get better reception of UHF channel programmes by changing the aerial from the grid aerial to a Yagi then I will get a new Yagi aerial and change the aerials over.

I live in CA14 area and receive transmissions from Caldbeck receiver. I have several tvs served by different aerials. For the last 9 months -or-so one of the tvs has lost channels from the BBCB multiplex.The aerial is a fairly new grid-type, my other aerial is an old, "contract" type .
Neighbours who don't have satellite dishes seem to have either Yagis or XBs
I want to change the grid aerial, which hopefully will restore the lost channels, but am confused which group aerial to buy - unless I am reading it wrong, this website says to use Group W, others say use Group A.
Which is correct?
