Below are all of MikeH's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Since switchover on 6th July I have seen several installations where Mux2 (CH56)will not tune in. I have tried removing aerial and re-scanning but no joy. The signal level seems to be quite low - approximately 36% on my Sharp PVR. Is this likely to improve at the second stage on 20th July?

Dale & jb38: Thanks for your comments. It is fair to say that the installations I referred in my post had previously received this MUX with no problem prior to switchover. Hopefully that means all will be restored to normal on the 20th !
For interest I'm running with a DAT75 aerial so that is most likely why my setup still works, albeit with low signal level.

This does not look good. Yesterday I was receiving all digital channels from Sudbury. This morning the ITV / Ch4/Ch5 group was missing, so I retuned (initial installation). Now I can see the EPG and BBC1 interactive button, but get no picture on ANY channel!!
I am using a brand new Sharp TU-T2HR32
I checked signal strength on Manual Tune. Ch41,44,49 are all strong and Ch 50,54 are a bit lower but probably acceptable.
Any ideas what is going on please?

An update to my earlier message. I checked another installation this morning and found the same problem there. But having now returned home my own installation is working correctly.

I have been having picture break up for several weeks now. TV in one room seems O.K. Another is faulty most of the time. In attempting to fault find I observed that neither TV is receiving Ch 47 ! Is that a known problem with the Sudbury transmitter?

Thanks for your comment. The problem eventually came down to an HDMI lead between the Freeview Box and the TV. For some reason the T.V. was not reporting the resolution so the Freeview box reverted to non-HD !!

Mark,
That is almost certainly the case. We are currently sitting under a high pressure system.
We have also lost coverage from the Sudbury transmitter up here in Suffolk.
Roll on the switchover!!
