Re recent comment have several TVs with Freeview all have retuned with no problem so signal strength seems ok the problem seems to be with the ICAN box. Any one got any similar problems ;the missing channels are available on 801 etc presumably from the South West transmitter

My ADB I-Can set top box will not receive channel 67 Mendip transmitter have tried all suggestions even having the box returned to supplier for adjustment all to no avail the misssing channels can be found on the 800 range wondered if any other users of this box have same problem and have found any way of correcting this problem.TVs in house all receive all freeview channels perfectly.May be will have to wait until Sept when Mendip changes it channel line up or Rowridge next year.

Just did manual retune on 56 for channel 4seven this is incorrect this channel is on 52 seems ArqA & B still showing wrong information.

Will try attenuator and see if that helps signal strength from West is very high 100% stregth & quality.Perhaps changing to Rowridge vertical might be the answer but rather expensive.

Thanks for reply I only have one aerial a wideband pointing at Mendip so seems its picking up unwanted signals from back of aerial. Not bothered about region just want pvr to stop dropping PSB at will, picking up Rowridge & poole with poor quality pictures & digital break up.

Dave Lindsay Re Sony pvr seems too much signal was too much have changed aerial connections on distribution amp to mast amp reduced signal to 75% quality 100% on all Mendip channels not had any more problems with unwanted Rowridge channels.Thanks for your advice

The Poole transmitter has always been poor in Oakdale [BH15] Best to use vertical transmissions from Rowridge or Mendip I get perfect reception on all channels from Mendip only thing missing South Today.
