StevensOnln1: Tried tuning manually following your instructions, but the signal quality is 0% and does not change. Not sure if the lack of signal is due to the weather, so I will try again tomorrow when it gets better.
The only question I would ask is when tuning manually should it be on 7mhz or 8mhz, as I can choose either?

Leslie Dyche: 8MHz is the correct setting for UK Freeview, 7MHz is used in some other countries. If you still have no signal when the weather improves, please provide a postcode so we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter.

Hi, do we know when the new channel numbers for the MUX will be made known, because obviously I am going to need a new aerial as I currently have a C/D aerial.
Thanks
