ben: You are predicted to have good reception of all six muxes at your location from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. To receive S/C you need a group B aerial set for horizontal polarisation and pointing NW. This prediction is, of course subject to there being no local obstructions such as trees or tall buildings in the signal path. The local Allesley Park relay is a PSB only transmitter, so does not transmit the COM muxes.

Ever since our block had the individual aerials replaced by a communal version we have all suffered from occasional channel loss (drop to 32 or 0) and wondered if this has anything to do with it positioned facing into a tall tree 5 metres away. You have to question the installation mentality.
By the way the individual aerials vanished into thin air... at best incompitence at worst theft.

edward healy: Try disconnecting the TV from the mains for about 30 secs or so before reconnecting it again then selecting to carry out a "factory reset" on it, this also known as "default setting" or "first time installation".

Notice a change to the transmitter last week! There is a change on what can be seen on the tv relay but don't think new channels etc has been added! I have post a picture via Twitter if people want to see it! There used to be an aerial attached to the aerial but I can not see that now from where I live as we have a great view of tv transmitter
