I have a number of tv's and set top boxes, which show poor signal qualty on some channels (TV guide)
But in a nutshell all my aerials are in line of sight to the Sheffield Crosspool, my main TV is a newish Samsung 4K tv, but also has a Humax T1000 recorder attached on it's own aerial, example: example: bearing in mind that the Crosspool transmitter broadcasts the Horror Channel on guide channel 70 using channel 42, 642000kHz, when tuned to the Samsung tv the signal strength and quality is 100% but when using the same aerial the Humax picks up the Horror channel 70 on channel 33, 570000kHz with arounf 70% strength and 100% quality and will drop the signal or pixelate
It looks like the other tv's / set top boxes have the same problem, I always choose South Yorkshire as the preferred transmitter rather than Emley Moor and the aerials are all vertically orientated, I have tried everything inc factory resets but only the newer Samsung gets the correct Mux.
Where are the other tv's getting Ch 33 570000kHz from? it's driving me mad as it's not always been like this.

Terry Parkin:
Hi Chris, I don't understand the channel 33 bit as the Emley Moor info page says com4/SDN transmits Channel 51 @ 714000kHz.
I tried retuning my Youview box which has the problems with incorrect channels, retuned with no aerial then retuned with the aerial, and still had the same problem, I may try setting one aerial to horizontal and point it to Emley mor and see what happens, Thanks for your help Chris.

Chris.SE: Hah, makes sense now if the site info has not been upated, will try a manual upate on the YOUVIEW box as it's not my main set top box and recorder, I've got to say digital is becoming a real pain with the constant channel updates means having to re input all the recording schedules as they are wiped due to possible channel changes, Once again thanks Chris.
