Alan: is fine as it covers the whole band.

Group K is Group A (bottom third) plus Group B (middle third).

I'm not sure that I can be much more to you. With your symptoms the likely possibility appeared to be that you still had a group A aerial.

Is it possible to bypass the (as a ) by connecting the feed from the aerial to that of the room where the troublesome PVR is?

If the booster has a separate supply then remove the power supply first and then remove the booster.

I have had the same apparent problem as Claire. I was watching on Saturday morning when suddenly I got a blank screen and 'No ' message on my TV (Sony + built in ) - same on all stations. Tried automatic then manual re-tunes (C46 only) all to no avail. I am not certain what I have (I do have a )but as all other etc seem fine and I haven't had any problems in the past I will now have to go through a process of elimintaion to find out the cause of the problem. I am in and all my other TVs are recieved via so can't do comparisons with othe TVs on the same transmiter which is a pain as the immediate suspect is the booster/co-ax link bearing in mind that C46 is at the top end of the transmission spectrum.

Claire: See my posting to Alan, above, Thursday 27 September 2012 1:56PM. If you have a group A which will likely be the type installed in the days of four- then you may need it replacing.

Group A is the bottom third of the band of frequencies and now the COM are all in Group B (middle third), which are in the 40s.

Trevor Milburn: Rather than a new , could you feed the TV from the aerial? The expense of changing this may be less than the cost of installing or paying an installer to fit a new aerial.

I have two independent systems with separate aerials aligned with and both are missing the HD 50..54 here in Ripon, N Yorks
There is Zero strength for MUX PSB3/BBCB UHF 23 at 490MHz. Other MUX on UHF 26, 29, 40, 43, 46 are all strong (>90%).
My first system is a wide band roof mounted aerial into a LG M2380DF. Second system is a lof mounted twin yagi into a Sony KDL-26U30.
Please advise - has HD transmission started from Bildsale yet?

Ian Gilkison: is broadcasting HD but your receivers do not contain the required DVB-T2 tuners.

The Sony set is labelled as "" which means that it can show HD pictures but does not have the means to receive them off the air.

The specification for the LG model, both on the LG website and in the manual does not appear to say what type of tuner it has. Amazon does say only DVB-T for the tuner and it also says "Full HD" in the product title. This also gives no qualification to the ability to receive HD signals off the air and just means that it can show the maximum resolution of a HD , 1080p.

Hi , thanks for the . NO its definately . Got odd things happening now though. like a blank screen on a lot of . BBC 1 is often unwatchable, yet every mux comes in with a strength of 6+, and of 5+

Really not sure waht is going on :(

Lindsay:
It seems strange that several others have have had problems with - more so since after (12/19/26 September) everything seems to have been fine until at some point disappeared. I receive the HD from Bilsdale perfectly well(OK they are double the of most others)but why should the C46/574MHz signals be so badly affected? I was told some time ago that the of Co-ax from to could have a detrimental effect on signal quality especially on the 'higher' channels, but when I had my aerial fited about a year ago the co-ax was also replaced so shouldn't be affecting the system.
I can jump into a downfeed from my , but I am still wondering why this problem occurred in the first place. (I spent 20 odd years working in IT so have heard - and given - all the usual excuses about problems with so would like to get to the bottom of this particular problem without losing what was a perfectly good signal feed).
