As your talking about the box top right: the print above the box on mine is jumbled. One transmitter name is highlighted in red for some reason. Other names are covered by the box itself and the GO button.

Can anyone confirm if Mux 2 has the weakest signal. Can't seem to get a decent reception in Tonbridge today.

Briantist, I don't think I own any devices that could be causing interference. Is it possible the signal from my pc's broadband is causing interference? Mind you, since our aerial was changed I was able to receive all the freeview channels with no problems - the problem started this week so the only thing I can think that has changed is the strength of the signal on Mux 2

To be honest unless the upstairs flat has a games console on all the time which is causing single frequency interference I think the signal to Mux 2 has dropped so much that we would need a wide-band aerial upgrade which would require the permission of our apathetic freehold company. Just a bit fed up with this as for several months its been a good signal on all multiplexes and now this week I've lost one entire multiplex

I think the phrase is ARGH! Just moved my booster 2 inches back and got the signal back.
