Very disappointed. We now receive fewer channels than before ( was hoping for more). We have lost MUX A with ITV2 +1 , ITV3, Quest, 5USA, CITV , three radio channels etc.
MUX A is on channel 24, well within group A using 20KW. We received good Freeview signals on 2KW prior to DSO, so I am a bit puzzled as to why we can't get MUX a now.

Which transmitter are you pointing at?
The Digital UK Tradeview seems to have proble m with your address - so perhaps you have a local issue.

Martin Davies; MuxA/SDN is now on C41+. You will need a wideband, or better still a group K aerial to receive the COM muxes on their new frequencies in addition to the PSB muxes that you can already receive on a group A aerial.

I've been getting all 6 mux on my old GBD2 box up to today, just retuned and can't get SDN in 41+. Panasonic tv on same aerial is getting everything and I'm sure that there was a + offset prior to today, I know this digi box can't do negative offsets.
Any ideas?

Wasn't there supposed to be an update for some Panasonic TV's that were expected to cause problems? I seem to remember reading something on those lines, D Spy I think...
