The TV is an LG 37" with Freeview HD, its about 18 months old. On Ch53 I get a signal strength in the 30% ish region with 0% quality and the manual scan gives "no channels found". It can drop to a signal strength of around 18% too. On Ch 27 I get a signal strength of 16% and again, a manual scan finds no channels. On the other hand, ITV on Oxon & Bucks transmitter (Ch60)gives a signal strength of around 60% and quality of 100%. I would be very grateful for any suggestions you might have, thanks

Thanks JB, I'll give that a try tonight. I don't use a booster. I have the aerial in from the roof going into the Humax and then another lead going to the TV. There is also a scart connection from box to TV. On separate inputs I have a DVD player connected via HDMI as well as a Humax HD Freesat box (non PVR) connected to another HDMI. Finally, there is a Wii which is connected via a 5 way lead to the component plugs. I'll report back tonight.
Thanks

Hi again
Got home from work, looked at Ch53 and it was all back but sound was low. So I fiddled with the scart and lost the picture again. I've now changed the scart and rescanned and all seems back to normal but I wasn't aware that the scart would have this impact. I've now got all channels with Ch53 Oxon & Bucks showing 64% strength and 100% quality. Got any explanations because I'm baffled!

Ch27 is still the same and power saving is off. Ah well, unexplainable I guess. If it goes again I may consider switching over to Freesat and having a new LNB fitted for a PVR as I've only got a single one now. I can't stomach the thought of giving my cash to the Australian phone hacker!

I've had Freeview for several years with no trouble, using a Humax PVR9150. I've now lost all the BBC channels and have tried resets and rescans etc with manual tuning on Ch53 but no channels are found. I also have a Freeview HD tuner in my TV and when I connect the aerial directly to this, I still don't get the BBC channels but I get perfect BBC and ITV HD reception. So the conclusion is that it's not the aerial or the PVR that's at fault. Can anyone enlighten me please? I'm on the Oxford transmitter at MK18 2QP.
