you are probably receiving signal from the Bromsgrove transmitter that changed over on the 6th , you need to setup your freeview box again

I have a smilar problem that I get a signal from Bromsgrove and weaker one from Sutton Coldfield. If I auto tune I have to stop it half way through tuning so that it does not replace the channels from Bromgrove with the ones from Sutton. You could try manually tuning just the channels from Bromsgrove.

Hi Mr MJT
You are correct the problem I suggesting the cure. Came about from my problems with a Humax TV. I had to do a complete default factory reset and tune in the individual channels.

Where I live in Droitwich you can pick up a good freeview signal from Bromsgrove and poor freeview signal from Sutton Coldfield on an aerial poining at Bromsgrove.
On my Humax TV and on my original Goodmans box on auto it scans the lower channels and picks out digital channels from Bromsgrove then moves up the frequencies and sees the poor Sutton digital channels and overwrites the ones already stored. Some with no signal and some with massive pixelation.

have you tried a manual retune of channels 33 and 34. I live in Droitwich and have done a factory default reset on all my boxes and digital tvs and am getting all channels without break up.

since the second part of the changeover I have various additional copies of ITV channels in the 300 range of numbers on one set, on two other sets they are in the 800 range and on the last there are no additional channels.
Before changeover all the sets could be heard in sync. Now if I am watching More4 on channel 14 on two sets they are out of sync but if I change one set with extra channels to More4 on channel 313 they are in sync.

on further investigation some sets are using UHF channel 23 and others UHF channel 25 for the ITV channels ,ITV1,CH4,CH5,ITV2,CH4+1,More4,E3,ITV1+1
It appears UHF channel 26 is duplicated out of sync with UHF channel 28.
I also get the ITV channels come up on UHF channel 41 and go into the digital 800 range of channels
HELP

Thanks for the explanation, my aerial is set vertical and has had to have amplifiers fitted as it is serving 6 freeview appliances with lowish signal levels and errors on some channels before changeover. Would that have anything to do with the problem as the c25 and c28 have lower but acceptable levels than c23 and c26 but most of the boxes find them after the stronger ones and replaces them, giving them the strange digital channel numbers.
