I've manually retuned and found it on CH34.
But it's still 106 and my box won't seem to recognise it's moved.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi.

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.

No, I'm not expecting it to be 34 on the EPG.
I tune to BBC4 HD, which is currently 106 on the EPG.
I go into manual tuning, which starts on the channel I'm tuned to, so it's on CH37.
But a retune there doesn't find 4HD any more.

I searched around the channels, and it picks it up on CH34, but still on 106.
So I go back to the tuner, which still says no signal on 106.
Go back into manual tuning and I can see it still thinks 106 is on CH37.

So.

Thinking it might be the PVR box, I've tried the same thing with my telly.
As I never watch the telly, it's still tuned to 31 which I think is where BBC 4HD was in January.

Exactly the same result as on the PVR, just substituting the number 31 for 37.

Surely I can't be the only person who's lost BBC4 HD?!

I think it's on 34 cos I must be picking it up from Moel-y-parc, which I try to avoid as the signal's a bit flaky by the time it gets here.

But why has it gone from Winter Hill?

and it turned out to be corrupted EPG data.

Yes, my EPG has been playing up since January. Taking sometimes until the day itself to update when it used to be a week ahead.

js - thanks, yes.

I've retuned it back to 31 for now, but since that's the one from back in Jan I assume we're going to lose that pretty soon?

More importantly, why has it gone from COM 8 where it should be?

Quote: Whatever the reason for the behaviour of the Digital Stream, it would seem there is no fault in the broadcast data since other devices are coping.


I've retuned on two different types of device by two different manufacturers and BBC4 HD has disappeared from COM8, which I'm getting a strong signal.

Seems unlikely it's not the transmitter.

js: I think I misread your earlier comment where you said.

Since 7 March.
COM8 is on 554 MHz, UHF 31
ARQB is on 602 MHz, UHF 37
COM7 is on 746 MHz, UHF 55

Is this correct?

I was going by the data on this page (not in the comments) which say that COM8 is on C37 and COM7 on 31.

So where are you getting your information?
