paul: Always remember that when testing the TV out on different aerial connections to carry to out a signal strength / quality test
in each location using the same channel every time, noting the levels indicated, as the figures obtained can be used for reference when judging the results of any modifications you might make to the aerial or cabling to.

Hoping you can help with this one. I live in a flat in Slough and up until Monday 5th March I was using the Hannington transmitter and receiving full service of Freeview (including HD channels). However my property management company decided to upgrade the aerial align towards Crystal Palace. Great, I would finally get BBC London region as Slough is in this region. Unfortunately now I can only pick up twenty Freeview channels and the region appears still to be Meridian (so still picking up rather weak signal from Hannington perhaps?) Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue? Or will I just have to wait for 4th April / 18th April for DSO at Crystal Palace?

Andrew Tegala: You could possibly have a comprise between both stations, try scrubbing what's already stored on your TV or box by carrying out a factory re-set (maybe called default setting) then carry out a "manual" tune on Crystal Palaces BBC1 on Mux Ch25, storing anything received (if that is) then carry out a second manual tune this time on CP's ITV Mux Ch22, backing out of the tuning menu after having carried out both actions and testing the result on both.
If this procedure proved as being satisfactory, then you can recover the remaining muxes by using your equipments "search for other channels" or "update channel list" or whatever it might be called on what you are using.
If though nothing is received by the manual tuning exercise then there really isnt anything you can do to rectify this situation, this by the fact of the aerial system being outwith your control.

Andrew Tegala: Regarding the latter part of my reply, that is although nothing can really be done about the situation regarding the aerial its definitely worth making another attempt using the procedure described from April 18th when Crystal Palace has fully switched to high powered operation.
Should you decide to try this, then from that date the channels used will be: Ch23 (BBC1) - Ch26 (ITV1) - Ch30 (HD service) - Ch25 (SDN) - Ch22 (ArqA) - Ch28 (ArqB)

Thanks for your help jb38! I will try a manual tune tonight. I have a Humax HDR Fox-T2 and there is a good resource on how to retune this PVR manually to pick up Freeview channels.

Andrew Tegala: Just a little point regarding that particular box, rather than carrying out the factory default procedure which would make it necessary for you to restore all your previously made configuration settings, just take aerial out an carry out a re-tune without it as that action will in most cases delete the channel memory, then carry out the aforementioned manual scan after re-connecting the aerial.
If though for any reason you are forced to carry out the factory default to completely eliminate the channel list, then double check that the "format HDD" box is NOT checked or it will delete anything you have previously recorded.

Please help.I have now had 2 independent aerial/t.v. engineers and also under the government scheme 'switchover help scheme' visit me here at my home, with regards to the digital switch over at Hannington.The government help scheme pro
vided a new aerial in my loft.To cut a long story, I have 4 'in built digital t.v.s' 3 are new at Christmas and are flat screen and the fourth is 5 years old of the larger model type.
Everyone has checked the aerial output/coax and splitter box in the loft, if anything the signal was too strong, this was 'dampend'to try to resolve my problem, which is bizzarely! one side of my house recieves t.v. from the Crystal Palace transmitter(and any t.v.s installed on that side of the house work fine)any t.v.s installed on the other side of the house recieve from Hannington, and do not work at all(pixeled picture or no transmittion)Please anyone any ideas? At the moment we are all living one side of the house if we want to watch t.v.!

Jean Ramskill:
Have you retuned your TV today? I'm assuming that you receive from Rowridge rather than Hannington. Rowridge started switchover today, and therefore BBC digital channels have moved frequency and therefore a retune is required. A further retune will be required on 28th March when all other channels move.
Hope this helps,
Adam.
