Sheffield (Sheffield, England) Full Freeview transmitter

Since 10th August ish, we can't get BBC1 or BBC2, presumably because of the BBCA mux going to channel 27, whatever that means. Re-tuned Samsung digi-box many times, it has updated itself with new software and I've tried resets and cleaning the co-ax connections. Can't get BBC2 on analogue either. Had a new aerial that the man said was specifically for this transmitter last year. Other TVs in the house get all channels fine (presumably getting Emley Moor).

Help.

Hi Jim. Thanks for your response.
Still no luck. Tried all combinations and permutations of resets, retunes and software updates. Even tried letting it half tune then taking aerial co-ax out and vice versa then total power off, reset and retune. Same. I don't know if this is relevant but I don't get any channels above the 700s (Samsung sir u-2001 digibox can apparently go up to 999).

Hi Keith. Thanks for the advice. Yep, I can see the transmitter from where I'm sat and the signal is very strong. Fortunately/unfortunately, a CRT we had upstairs died last night in quite a melodramatic fashion so I nabbed the digibox from it and plugged it in to our main telly. Everything tuned in. Job's a good 'un. Should've tried the other digibox before...
Thanks again.
Joe
