Below are all of M. Caine's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.David: You are picking up a different transmitter than Winterhill. Depends on your tv as to how you sort it. Could be North Wales or ano North West transmitter. I have a Panasonic Smart tv that automatically sorts for the best (i.e Winterhill) signal. I also have a Technomate TM 6902 european box that picks up exactly what you are describing - on this box, I can manually delete these weaker signal stations.
If you can, depending on your box - try starting the scan from the frequency channel range specific to Winterhill. I had to do this on my m-in-laws Humax Freeview box to eliminate weaker Welsh channels that the box was picking up.
I am in South Manchester too.

You can plug a standalone Hard Drive recording unit into most modern TV sets to record directly from TV via a usb connection. I have 2x - one for my TV and one for my Technomate TM 6902 European Satellite receiver. Gives up to 4x recordings at once with this set up - and you can watch a pre-recorded programme as you record another - or use them to record say if someone interrupts your viewing say a knock at the door or a phone call - then come back and pick up watching where you left off. Both my Hard Drive boxes I use are the same as used for extra computer space use. One is a Seagate, the other Western Digital. Google for 'usb hdd for tv recording'. There are many options available.

michael : Technomate and others do an excellent range of multisat receivers ( needing a motorised sat dish for optimum usage effect) - some having twin & triple tuners for terrestrial viewing - allowing for multi recording possibilities - especially into a separate hard drive. There are many forums out there re sat stuff and many experts to give unbiased free advice / help
