After re tuning the digital receivers this week to get BBC2 due to the start of the switchover from the Midhurst transitter, the signals on groups C and D have gone from 40 - 50% on quality right up to 100%. So once again I can watch all of the channels that I lost a couple of months ago.

Transmitter engineering: Since retuning after the switch over we've lost the BBC Mux (channel55) from our Humax 8000T PVR. It just won't see it no matter what we do (deleting all channels, scanning with no aerial, manual scanning etc) even though it shows 80% strength on the screen. The TV plugged into it has no problem seeing all channels as do all the other TV's in the house. Any suggestions as we're loosing patience!

Humax's have an option: FIRST TIME INSTALLATION. You have to run this. I am getting BBCA crystal clear in NW London from Hannington.

Darren Ellis: Normally I'd say that it didn't support 8K mode, but to the best of my knowledge, all PVR-8000T are compatible with it. My parents have one, and have had no problems since Hannington switched over.
Humax's website doesn't list any software downloads for this box at present; it's possible that there were some at some time. You'd have to email them to find out if your box is up-to-date and how you can get it updated.
It is possible that you now have too much signal, given that BBC A is 10 dB (10x) louder than before.
