Dave, that's a problem that I've long been aware of: it meant I lost a whole mux, then including Film4. Certainly if there is another mux offset it would explain at least the GDB3 deficit. But currently the only mux shown on Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) Full Freeview transmitter with an offset seems to be PSB3 at 545.8Mhz. London Live is still shown as LW C29 at 538MHz, ie on a regular 8MHz step.
One of the TV owners I mentioned refers to "my modern Samsung". Could be that he's not mastered retuning yet. But if he does have a problem, whether it's due to mux offset, mode, or whatever, I guess he should really be referring it back to them for comment and advice about a firmware update. I'm just a little surprised if a 'modern' set can't cope; though I've not found any other similar reports.

Dave: Thanks. One of the Samsung owners has since admitted success on retuning and the other is keeping shtumm. So I'll take a negative offset as the likely explanation, and assume it's relevant only to a few ancient boxes like my GDB3.

Can anyone confirm that there are some tuners that are not able to deal with the LW multiplex, 538 MHz, C29, at Crystal Palace, that contains local channel London Live? My Sony Bravia and a Medion freeview box have no problem, but a Goodman GDB3 box doesn't detect it. A couple of Samsung TV owners locally have also reported the same failure. I guess it may be that it's the mux's DTG-12 mode that's not being catered for.
