Hi agai, I've done a complete reinstall, done a full slow scan, and BBC1, BBC2, and BBC 24 hours news do not exist for detection now. Please can you help?

After retuning (reset),I am receiving poor or interrupted, sometime zero, services from STV and channel 4. All BBC programmes are received well. After 15th June retune, will the signal levels for STV and Channel 4 improve?

Hi Briantist, it's a pci card which slots inside my computer - it's a Compro T750. BBC1, 2 and alot of the day on a few days ago BBC 24 hours news were all getting good reception 2 or 3 days ago. So I'm wondering if either I'm not getting the same sort of reception, or something technical has happened.

glb37: I can't recall a PCI card that doesn't support the 8k transmission mode.
Perhaps your signal is now too strong. If you have an amplifier, try removing it.

Hi, yes, this pci card is compatable with 8k mode.
With a free different software I get BBC now. But with the original Compro software strangely it does not find BBC. It did 3 days ago fine and stable for a long time. I even reinstalled Compro totally and restarted, but BBC is not available.
