Rowridge (Isle Of Wight, England) transmitter

Hi all

Since the recent retunes, my HTPC is picking up a bunch of frequencies it shouldn't be for where I am (Gosport - PO12). I'm getting duplicates of all the BBC channels (on the wrong frequency) and various others as well.

From the HTPC logs

482.167 MHz - Duplicates of 602.000 MHz
506.000 MHz - Duplicates of 545.833 MHz
674.000 MHz - Duplicates of 498.000 MHz

Prior to the retune at the start of March, everything was fine, it's only since the new transmitter came into action that all these unwanted entries have started appearing on a scan.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. The software I use for the HTPC is getting the frequencies from a scan of the NIT. They're still implementing and adjusting the software for the NIT scan (http://www.4therecord.eu/), but I also tried what the software calls 'a scan including the offset frequencies' (bit of a mounhful ;)) after the first change in March and still picked up the same duplicate channels. Also tried MediaPortal's (http://www.team-mediaportal.com/) TV Server with the same results.

Hopefully it'll settle down after 18th April. It's not a huge hassle manually removing the channels, I was just curious where they may be coming from.

Thanks again
