Hi, not sure if anyone can help me but would appreciate any suggestions.

I can't seem to get the SDN MUX channels on my tv, this includes 5*, Five USA and Drama among others. I have tried switching off and re-tuning and also doing a first time installation. I live in a flat so am unable to get to the aeriel. My local transmitter is Waltham and when I look on the coverage checker I should be getting these channels.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi JB,

Thanks for replying. I am in central Derby, DE1 and apparently should be getting the channels. I tried what you said and used the manual tuning and it came up blank.

I haven't had the channels at all since moving in almost a year and a half ago.

Might it be something to do with the aeriel?

Hi JB,

I can watch Pick and ITV 4, both work fine. What is a communal distribution system?

I will try and find out if I see one of my neighbors.

Hi JB,

I'm not sure whether we have separate aerials or a communal one as it is a block of only 6 flats. My landlady is coming over for a different problem tomorrow so I will try and find out.

As for the scan I'm not sure I did it correctly, I think I did but I'm not very technical so I'm not sure! I'll tell you what I did:
1. Went on "TV Menu" (when on BBC1)
2. Went on "DTV Manual Tuning"
3. On here it says "UHF CH 49" at the top and says "good signal" in the little box. It says the same when I flick over to "UHF CH 56" I think this might be the MUXes? If I go to "UHF CH 29" and scan it doesn't do anything - says no signal. But looking at it now I don't think I'm doing the right thing!
