I receive signals from Sutton Coldfield most of which are OK but I have a problem with COM 5 on channel 45. My Samsung TV shows 100% signal quality on channels 43 and 46. Dave comes in at around 10% on channel 45. It's not my PVR interfering. Any ideas?

I tried the suggestion of removing all channels and then retuning. I now have Dave at 100% from Oxford on a loft aerial in Stow on the Wold pointing at Sutton Coldfield. Good suggestion, thanks.

Samsung have told me I can't have a mixture of channels from different transmitters!

Dave Linsay: Thanks for your interest and comments.

My main reason for posting was that having cleared all of the stored channels as was suggested I am now able to tune in a mix of Sutton Coldfield and Oxford channels whereas before my receiver concentrated on one transmitter. Now I have been able to fill in the gaps caused by poor reception of the COM5 from Sutton Coldfield by receiving the mux from Oxford. I can do this with just the one aerial, no diplexer.

That being the case the possible co-channel reception is not causing me any loss of services.

Regarding the EPG, with a mixture of Sutton Coldfield and Oxford my guide shows both Midlands Today on the TV's channel 1 and South Today on channel 800.

You might wonder why I am interested in Sutton Coldfield when I am close to Oxford and could receive its transmissions without too many problems. I am from the Midlands and am not really interested in news about Brighton and the Isle of Wight.
