Had a few problems with my Humax 9200T again this morning. Lots of channels missing, so I did a complete retune. However, some channels were still very blotchy, or saying "no signal" (ITV, C4, C5, ITV2). I then followed the manual instructions that Mike Dimmick kindly provided me with earlier on this thread to manually tune, but only found service on Ch60 - nothing on 60, 55, 56, 66 or 62.
I auto-tuned again, and checked out the problematic channels... they were tuned to Ch25 Gloucestershire with signal strength and quality of only 10%. Some of the other channels that were working correctly were tuned to Ch 59, Ch50 and C55.
I am probably being really stupid here, assume I need to tune to a different manual set of Ch's now that the final stage of the swap over has occured... but why have I lost a batch of channels all together?
Kind Regards
Craig Jones

Sorry, my previous message should have read "only found service on Ch60 - nothing on 65, 56, 66 and 62."

Craig Jones: You need to enter C57 for Mux D3+4. The new line up is C50, C55, C57+, C59-, C60- and for HD it is C53.

Just bought a I CAN HD freeview box, and whatever I do I cannot get it to store channel numbers correctly. BBC channels are on the 800's, and resetting, doing manual search etc doesn't seem to help. any ideas?
Thanks

@ paul
The 800 numbers signify your box is receiving channels from two transmitters I had the same problem before the switchover
Retune but leave the aerial out until the tuner gets to ch47 then insert aerial so it only receives channels from the B Hill transmitter which starts at ch 50
Let me know if this works

I have a new digital TV, before the analogue turn off I could get almost all the Freeview channels except 5 USA & 5*. Now, after the switch-over, I can get all of them. I could also get the BBC Radio channels including Radio 4 Extra (708). Today, Sunday the 25th the BBC Radio channels, including Radio 4 Extra have disappeared. I have re-scanned several times & all of the TV channels are fine, but the BBC Radio channels have gone. Is this due to maintenance? I live in Stourbridge.

I receive TV signals from Brierley Hill and am having trouble with the occasional changing of transmitting channels e.g. BBC has been transmitted on channels 26, 28, 49 and each time the channel changes (without warning)I have to retune both TV and Recorder and previously programmed items on the Recorder may not have recorded since the channel has been changed after programming and before recording. This occurs with ITV also. Why is Brierley Hill finding it necessary to change the transmitting channels?
