Restored to factory settings and set the TV up again and the channels are back.
Thank you for your help.
Something strange going on with the radio channels, they're being repeated in the 800's.
Regarding Hd, please can you let me know when I will be able to receive these.
Thanks

Mr singh, its possible your picking up more than one digital transmission.I'm in the waltham radial but can get belmont really clearly despite being 90degrees off with the aerial! (And it matches the signal strength of waltham on the itv multiplex).
Repeat signals are listed in the 800s, you will likely find some digital tv channels there too.

Hi,
New to this forum. I would like some advice on aerials. Just recently had my aerial removed from my roof due to some repairs. I've been told that aerial can be put in loft. Which aerial would you recommend for LE4 Birstall area, Leicester receiving transmission from Waltham?
I have a hd ready tv but not one with a built in hd receiver. Looking to upgrade at some point. Looking for the best loft aerial solution. Thanks

Hi All, I Now Know How To Solve My Problem. It Is to Buy A New On Digital Box that can handle 8k. But I Love my old box And I Don't See Why I Should Change It, Just to get the extra BBC channels which I pay a licence fee to receive. I Don't under stand why they need 8k. Is it because of HD which I don't need or want at the moment? Did Briantist say that this (Glitch) would be solved at a later date? If So I'll wait to buy a new box or tv? initial problem - Waltham on digital no BBC 1 ,2 ,news ,red button 301 etc. I borrowed a box with 8k caperbility to test if the aerial needed moving it didn't. thanks Phill
