Is Mustard available? Don't seem to get it in Southwold but I would think it would be on Talceseston.

Richard: Southwold is well outside of the coverage of Tacolnestons local LNR transmitter, its transmission pattern resembling that of a thistle, with the top of spanning from Great Yarmouth around the coastline to Cromer. and with the limits of its bulbous bottom section touching on Diss, Harleston and Loddon.

Thanks Mike. I managed to work out how to do a manual scan and found some of the auto tuned channels were down in the 20's which I think were on the Sandyheath transmitter.
I cleared everything and manually scanned on the Tacolneston channels listed above and all now seems fine.

colin: If you are referring to a Manhatten "Freesat" receiver, try carrying out a new (first time) installation but enter a post code of PE6 7XZ into the box, this code covering the Anglia West area, or should you wish the Anglia East region use IP1 3BB.
