I think that there have been a few minor channel changes? Nothing significant though

Hello, I live in Banbury and have been tuned into the Oxford transmitter without a problem, but as of this week, I seem to have 'lost' BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD, ITV HD, & C4 HD from my channel list. I have tried rescanning for Ch57 and also a full rescan, but Neither of my TVs find the missing channels...Has anyone else had a problem?

Anyone else having problems with BBC1 HD (101), BBC2 HD (102), ITV1 (103) and Ch 4 HD (104? Had a couple of instances of the same problem previously, the first on Saturday 21 November 2015, and again this evening (Thursday 7 January 2016). All was fine at 7.00pm but 8.00pm onwards the signal kept dropping. Very annoying if you are recording an HD channel, at least if you are watching you can switch to the non HD version, but if you are absent the recording will fail. The only sure way is to record the non HD channel - very annoying if you have just bought an HD recorder! We live about 10 miles south west of Oxford.

Mr Thomson:
I would suggest you seek the advice of whoever is installing the equipment for you. In my experience the installation of a dish, cables and box should not normally take more than 2 hours but depends on factors such as an difficulties found with mounting the dish or routing the cables.

Can anyone explain why on our main tv with Freesat new channels appear automatically but
on our other tv with Freeview I have to retune everytime? It is all a bit confusing to me.

Harry Hyams:
It all depends on the design of the TV set. My LG does not automatically update either Freeview or Freesat, it has both. So some TV sets will automatically update Freesat if they are designed to do that. I don't know of any set that is designed to automatically update Freeview.
