Got a strange problem here.

Since the 18th my PVR is not picking up anything on UHF28 (Arq B, Mux D, whatever you want to call it!). My fairly new Samsung TV picks it up no problem though, and they're connected in-line.

The box is an old Asda one, the Durabrand DPVR801. I'm 7km from Crystal Palace (bearing 126°) and am using a set top aerial.

I used to need a powered amplifier to get a good signal on all channels. I tried removing it from the setup to see if it made a difference, but no luck.

All other channels seem to be fine, but when I do a manual scan on 28 it just shows nothing at all.

Like I said before, the aerial lead goes through the PVR into the TV and the TV picks the channels up fine.

Anyone got any ideas? I can watch the channels on the TV, but there are occasions where I like to record things on ITV4, so would prefer to get this fixed if possible!

Many thanks.

I take it no one has any insight then?

Brilliant, thanks for the info.

Now I just have to find someone with a computer that still has a serial port!

Either that or just upgrade my PVR...
