I live in |Barton-upon-Humber and all the mux's are coming in fine on a wideband antenna except ArqB which is low in level according to the tv's (only 68% compared to 80% for the rest). In the change over notes it says "ArqA and ArqB now launch on final channels (C53 and C60), restricted to 4kW until 23 November.
Are they in fact still running at low power as the mux information has them at 100kW?

I'm now getting the ITV/C4/C5 Belmont mux here in Nottingham on the outdoor aerial which is pointing at Sutton Coldfield, but I have to make sure the aerial cable is not resting against any other wires round the back of the TV. Interference from other equipment can evidently have a big impact on digital signal quality, espeically if the signal is relatively weak.

How come on my tv, I do a factory re set, yet I still can't receive freeview hd, even though I have a freeview hd tv? do Sony tv's require a software update also?

Mike Dimmock / jb38: For info: as expected, my Samsung SDT-7000 Plus freeview box has had the final nail in its coffin. I cannot receive any channels on it. Goodbye old setop box friend. ;-(

Dean Morris: Well at least you have given it a fair trial.
As a matter of interest have you purchased another box? as I noticed (just) that you were looking at the Labgear FV300, and which I tried to check on, but the manual is useless as it gives the minimum of technical spec.
