Dave Adams: I would start by doing this My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice to the box.
However, the 9150 PVR has been known to have problems during the "mixed mode" situation between the first and second dates of switchover.
So, either wait until the morning of Wednesday 21st September 2011 or clear the channels out by scanning with the aerial out and then do a manual add for:
C39, C41, C44, C47, C51 and C59.

Briantist,
First a thanks for all your previous advice - sure much appreciated by all !
I have a media center and following the 7th Sept switch-over a few of the channels (BBC1, Channel 5 etc) have been dropping out/blocky especially in the morning. I've a couple of questions ...
1) During the 7th-21st period will the transmitter be having work done on it/reduced power for any reason ?
2) Did read previously the power at Malvern was going to be increased in this switchover - is this still the case ?
Many thanks in advance,
Richard

Richard Worthington: Here goes:
1) No, aside from the time it turned off during DSO1.
2) Yes, see "Comparison of analogue and digital signal levels" at the top of the page, all go from 200W to 400W, an increase of 3dB.
If you have Windows 7 Media Center, make sure you do a full "delete all channels" before you scan again, Media Center will get very confused otherwise.

Hey there,
Since the re-tune on 7th Sep, Ch 53 (all BBC) is rubbish. Both signal strength and quality are very poor. Everything was fine pre re-tune and all other chnnels are ok. Is anyone else having similar problems?
I have re-tuned again, checked the physical connections and turned the in-built booster off, all to no avail. Am I missing something, as it's getting to be a massive pain in the backside?
TIA, Andy (Malvern - on the Malvern Transmitter).

Yes, it's just the BBC stuff on that channel. The interference angle was one I hadn't looked at, but I can find nothing in the house that could be causing the problem - no skybox, have checked all other devices in the immediate vacinity and I can't think of anything else in the hereabouts that could be causing an interference problem. Bit of a nightmare at the moment.
