I've just found that instead of being tuned to the Crookes transmitter as I thought I was I was actually tuned to Emley Moor for the 2 BBC muxes but Crookes for everything else. I was still getting reasonable pictures and sound (I live in Ecclesall) but the signal straength displyaed on my Digitalstream box was very low, less than 25% and I was getting breakup on the picture. Emley Moor is about in the same direction but a much weaker signal. I retuned the box manually for those 2 muxes and it all worked perfectly. Any idea why this may be - I don't retune unless I have to as it gets rid of series linked programs but I did an update and it did find some changes recently.

Dave Higgins: I can't give you any definitive answer to your question.
At a mile or so from Tapton/Crookes so maybe the signal is a bit on the high side.
These things are never going to be perfect. In some cases you can unplug the aerial lead so stop the wrong transmitter being picked up. This needs knowledge of what it is that you want and what you don't want.
You could auto-tune with the aerial plugged in for the first 25% and then unplug it. Then you need to manually add the three commercial multiplexes on channels 39, 42 and 45. The reason you need to add these manually is because those of Emley Moor are mixed in (on intermediate channels).

I have followed the 'Freeview reset procedure' after experiencing severe problems for the past week and a half. Unfortunately, not only did this not work but I have now lost all BBC channels and the reception on the others is still poor.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Thanks.
