Ray moorhouse: Did you receive any of the on COM8 previously? If not, it may be that your communal system needs adjusting as they often have filters fitted to block out weaker signals from other unwanted transmitters, which may require adjusting.

Our very limited free view come from a local , so would something like TV Fix get the channels that are missing?

Beki:

Very doubtfull, but as you have not given the requested full post code we cannot tell for sure. An indoor , such as the TV Fix aerial, will be less likely to get more as they are always very poor unless you are very close to a main . transittters are intended to 'fill in' areas where the signals from main transmitters do not reach reliably and usually serve a small area so have much fewer viewers than the main stations. Hence the commercial broadcasters, who have to pay to have their programmes transmitted, are less likely to pay to reach a much reduced number of potential customers as it is not commercially viable for them.

If you give a full post code we may be able to advise more.

Mr Beck:

Check that your TV has tuned in to the correcrt for your preferred . We cannot tell which that is, out of the over 1100 available, as you have not give a full post code.

Why did you 'reset' your TV? There has not been any changes made to the operatiopn of , if that is your 'local' transmitter for some onths and it usually a bad idea to keep retuning when things are working correctly.
