Scott: Do you have a working BBC1 in the 800s? If the HD channels are present in the 800s it suggests you might be receiving an alternative region in addition to Sutton Coldfield.This could be Winter Hill which would explain the loss of MuxD (ITV4, Film4 etc). A slight increase in signal on C55 from Winter Hill would block reception of MuxD, also C55 from S/C.Try doing a factory reset to clear the channel list and rescan for channels or do a manual tune for each of the Sutton Coldfield frequencies.
