I have good signal (85% strength, 100% quality) for all muxes except COM7 & GMAN which have always been patchy, now I can't receive them at all. I think I could receive the channels on COM8 a few months ago before it was switched off but don't quote me on that. My aerial is in the loft and is as old as the house (20 years). Any recommendations for a new aerial that will provide good signal for those two muxes?

Thanks in advance!

Chris.SE:
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I saw "your location is noted as M221TQ" and thought that would be visible to you. I have just checked and if L_MAN is the mux with just 'That's Manchester' on channel number 7 then my receiver (YouView DTR-T2100) has picked that up (as "That's TV") but there is just a black screen with a "no signal" message. COM7 & GMAN channels are all absent and I'm missing at least 1 channel from COM5 (78 - Now 70s) but others on this mux (e.g 38 - Quest Red) are there and have excellent signal, so I'm even more confused now.

My mother who lives in M201BB can receive all COM7 & GMAN channels with good signal (~80%) but she had a new aerial installed 2 years ago and this is mounted on the roof. However she did say occasionally there is brief loss of signal on Now 70s so I am wondering what is different about this channel to the others on COM5, unless it has now moved to COM7 or GMAN?

Any further help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris I'm going to try this shortly. Not bothered if I lose my scheduled recordings as there's not much on there so it won't take long to set those back up. I'll let you know how it goes.
