Briantist: But as Jim's Aerial's says - "VCRs are often pre-set to channel 36 for their UHF output"
Jim's Aerials - TV Distribution
Also SCART to UHF boxes only output on Channel 36.
UHF Modulator Only £20.42 at TVCables
C'est la vie.

Bill: They shouldn't be using C36 for that, as C36 is a DDR non-TV frequency after switchover it should be avoided.

Bill: Digital UK I would imagine, it is in all their industry documentation. For example in http://www.digitaluk.co.u….pdf
"Installers adopting RF bypass filters need to remember that these should be flexible enough to take account of sixteen UHF channels being auctioned off post switchover by Ofcom on behalf of the Government. "

I struggle to receive many ITV and Channel 4 channels on freeview through a rooftop aerial. I've asked my property management company to see if the aerial needs replacing but they insist that it's fine. After September 28th, do you know if the reception in Oxford will improve?
Postcode: OX41GA
Thank you for your help.

I have problems getting the ITV1 multiplex but all the others work OK. I changed the aerial to a new wide band one with slightly higher gain. (19 element Maplin MZ40T) The reception on the other multiplexes has improved but still no ITV1.
Any suggestions?
