Wrexham Rhos (Wrexham, Wales) Freeview Light transmitter

Hi, we recently purchased a new HD TV and upon installation the tv was "tuned in" by the delivery guys. Wales region was the prefered region chosen and all relevant channels were received as expected. Today, upon switching the tv on, a message was displayed stating to re-tune and update channels. I have done this, along with chosing Wales as the prefered region, and now S4C Clirlun has disappeared from the channel line up. I have tried manually tuning the tv by imputting the channel number 53 (freq 730) and a "bar" is being displayed for signal strength, but nothing is being displayed on signal quality and although the message "searching" is being displayed, nothing seems to be happening, as this has been displayed for over half an hour. Our aerial is in the loft and pointing towards Wrexham-Rhos. I would be grateful if you could offer some advice as what to do as I was really looking forward to watching the rugby in HD on S4C!!! Thanks

Thanks Dave for the advice. Tried Channel 25 but still no S4C Clirlun. Even tried Channel 42(MYP) but again no S4C Clirlun.

Thanks Dave, I have done what you've suggested, both BBC 1 and 2 Wales are "bad signals", ITV Wales and S4C are ok though, still no S4C Clirlun and I've noticed ITV 1HD is now Granada instead of Central.

Just done another tuning scan and everything appears to be back to normal now. All 4 Welsh channels coming through clearly, ITV 1 HD is back as Central and S4C Clirlun has returned, whilst all north west channels, including HD channels have returned to the 800's.

Many thanks for your advice and help

Dave, I think all the Welsh transmitters carry ITV HD Central.

It looks as if I've got a hybrid of both Winter Hill and MYP with regard to the channels I'm getting. BBC 1 SD is on channel 45, ITV Wales, S4C and Channel 4 are on channel 49, whilst BBC 3 and 4 along with the majority of all other channels seem to be coming from Winter Hill. BBC 1 HD and S4C Clirlun are on channel 42 whilst BBC HD is channel 54.

Ironically, I don't seem to be picking anything up from channels 28, 22 & 25 which are the Wrexham Rhos channels, yet I'm only about 3 miles away from the transmitter and can see the mast clearly from the street, as it's on the opposite mountain !!!

Don't know what I did as such, just selected the auto tune again.

Once again thanks for your help and advice.
