On one tv I have to manual input as receive Sudbury not Dover. I'm at CT 5. Channel 55 is giving no input. My otherv2 TVs on an auto search revive all from Dover. Have pulledvaerial. Cleared all channels and inputted only way. Can achieve from 5 is to manually input for south east then automatic to receive from 55. Thus then puts my bbc1 etc on 800
