Below are all of Dean Morris's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I should add that on Ch22 (482 MHz), Level and Quality are both 0. But how can the Goodmans pick it up ok? I'm baffled. Both boxes are on a booster by the way.
Any help appreciated.

jb38: thanks for taking the time to help. i've tried re-scanning with no booster but it now picks up no channels at all. Good idea though. It looks doomed doesn't it? I'd like to save the Samsung if possible. It's a nice piece of kit. Picture quality is great and has got 60Hz input. Any other ideas?

jb38: Thanks for your attempts again. Yes I expect to lose more channels on 17th Aug. We'll see? The Goodmans and the Samsung are both on the same circuit using the same aerial on a 'Select SLX PSU Masterhead amplifier power supply'. I have tried the Samsung upstairs on the other aerial connection, but the BBCA group is still missing.
On the Goodmans, BBC News channel has Singal 80+% and Quality 85+%. So this looks good.
On the Samsung, there is a menu option 'Check for download'. It has always been version 1.1. New version has always been N/A. There has never been a new download available, and I have checked often.
I think the Samsung SDT-7000 Plus is finished, unless the 17th brings a resurrection. Would you agree? Once again, thanks for help.

jb38: I should tell you the Samsung SDT-7000 Plus does not have a RS232 input on the back. The Goodmans does but not the Samsung. So even if you find an update I'm not sure how it would be uploaded?
With regard to the Freeview PVR, I've seen a picture of it but I'm completely unfamiliar. Does it have a hand remote? I was looking at the Labgear FV300 as a replacement. It seems to have good reviews.
I will update you on 17th with fate of the Samsung. Once again, thanks for your efforts.

Richard Paskin: I sounds like you are having similar problems to me and my Samsung SDT-7000 Plus. If you find any information on how to remedy your box I'd be interested. I'll let you know the fate of mine.

Mike Dimmock / jb38: For info: as expected, my Samsung SDT-7000 Plus freeview box has had the final nail in its coffin. I cannot receive any channels on it. Goodbye old setop box friend. ;-(

After resettig and rescanning my Samsub SDT-7000 Plus freeview settop box I am missing all channels in the BBCA group. All other channels appear to be there. The strange this is that my daughter has recanned her settop box (Goodmans) in her bedroom and she's getting the BBCA group fine. I have tried a manual scan on my SDT7000 on Ch22, setting the TxMode to 2K and 8K and the Guard Interval to 1/32 1/16 1/8 and 1/4, but it still doesn't recognise the group. Do I have to wait until the freeview signal is stronger from Wed 17 Aug? Any ideas? NB. Aerial is on roof attached to chimney.
