Many thanks for your very positive response to my problem, it is much appreciated. It gives me a few things to be going at. The aerial and splitter that I have were installed a couple of years ago by a very reputable local aerial company. They also added an amplifier for the TV that is giving me the problems (I will try removing this to see what happens). I can always get back to them in the light of your suggestions to see if they can fix the problem.
What puzzles me though is that before the Nottingham changeover, both TVs tuned in to ALL of the Freeview channels, with excellent reception. It was only after the Nottingham transmitter switched that this problem began.
Yet I always thought that Kimberley was a relay for Sutton Coldfield (not Nottingham), and wondered if all the engineering works now taking place there might, in some way, be to blame.

Thank you once again for your most informative, and interesting, reply to my last post.
I'm sure I'll soon have both TV sets running as they should, with the helpful advice you have given me.

I have two digital tvs running off the same aerial. One Tv picks up all Freeview channels perfectly, whilst the other will not tune in to any of the BBC channels or Sky news channel, despite using the same aerial, and retuning after clearing all previous channels. All the other Freeview channels tuned in fine though.
Digital reception appears to be excellent from the Kimberley transmitter, which is only 5 miles away.
I asked Digital UK for help, but they appeared baffled too!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
