Simon: This box has automatically addressed you, so I don't know if that is correct. From new, our Sony 1TB PVR has had to be manually tuned to , Yorkshire, as it prefers to look over the Pennines and 100 miles further to Carlisle, to pick up the weak from NW TV. The list of numerical MUXs I had appears to have been superceded by acronyms, COM5 etc which I don't understand. Can anyone please? The list I was using is: 41, 44, 47, 48, 51,52. but even this won't overide the NW tendency. The Sony TV doesn't appear to suffer the same problem.
The store has since closed down but denied any problem from new.A with all problems, we are the only people in the known universe to have experienced this.
Help please, Jack

Jack: The names of the format "PSB#" and "COM#" are post - labels. Each has its own title, a proper noun. I have given these below along with corresponding UHF numbers for .

A more detailed explanation of the different names is here: Why do the six Freeview "multiplexes" have twenty different names?

UHF for Emley Moor are as you have quoted, although several others have started up since then on lower but which at least some of you might receive in Acaster Malbis.

Channels are:

PSB1 - "BBC A" - BBC One -
PSB2 - "D3&4" - ITV -
PSB3 - "BBC B" - BBC One HD -
COM4 - "SDN" - ITV3 -
COM5 - "Arq A" - Pick -
COM6 - "Arq B" - 4Music -
COM7 - "COM7 (HD)" - CBeebies HD/BBC Four HD -
COM8 - "COM8 (HD)" - QVC+1 HD -

You "may" also be able to receive the local Leeds multiplex on , which broadcasts directionally rather than omni-directionally) towards Leeds, and therefore in your direction.

Digital UK publishes a full list of by multiplex, which it identifies by their proper nouns. You can click the headings to order by that heading:

Digital UK Industry - Channel listings

I am a technical bod so I would some general suggestions:

1. See if your has a setting. It could be that the region it's giving you is first alphabetically, the "Yorkshire" of Emley Moor probably being the last. This might need changing.

2. It might be tuning to because it is on the lowest UHF channel number and therefore found first.

One way of getting it to automatically tune to Emley Moor might be to have the aerial out for the first 30% or until it gets past UHF channel 30 during its . With this method you might need to go back and use manual tuning to add C32 and C34 if the aerial isn't in soon enough.

Only just found this response, David Lindsay: thank you very much, this is the information I was seeking.
The ' setting' was not enough to overide the NW selection but I'd forgotten the 'remove for the first lot of ', as advised by the last aerial man.
I have printed off your information and will store it in 'safe place'.
Thanks again; Jack

I live in , the Newhaven is a so called light transmitter and we can only receive about 8 , due to the geographical location of Newhaven in a valley) very few people can receive Whitehawk (The Brighton Full transmitter), given that new Freeview channels are appearing all over the place now, is there any danger that the Newhaven transmitter will be upgraded? I've tried contacting Freeview who say my beef is with so I tried contacting them but they don't return calls, what is a body to do?
