Sandy Heath TX, ref above post from StevensOnln1, just got off the phone to Freeview re loss of Com 7 & 8 after retune this morning. They were unable to help. I have no signal on CH 55/56. All other Coms fine. Can anyone advise?
Thanks

Thanks Steven,

Yes, I checked all connections. Surely it would not selectively fail to receive on 2 whole Coms only? The DVB tuner in the TV is missing all channels from Com 7 and 8 also (non HD) so it's not my HD box or connections. Postcode is SG8 5PP.

Thanks

Thanks MikeP for your reply and information.

Re-tuned around 8.00 ish last night and now have Com 7 & 8 on ch55 and 56. Signal condition check shows intermittent bit errors, Strength 8 and Quality 3. (before the switch it was 10/10). I'll now look at a better gain aerial.

Thanks Colin,
I gathered as much from the loss of signal strength and the wattage comparisons of each mux in the info higher up this page. Despite this all the Com 7 & 8 channels are ok and not dropping out currently. Is it your understanding that they will boost the signal later or is that it? Shocking that people are losing channels because of this.

Myrvin: Check post from StevensOnln1 on previous page. COMs 7 & 8 have moved since yesterday to CH54/55.
