Perranporth
Only limited channels available (used to get many more). Does Perranporth transmitter cover things like Dave, ITV3/4, Film4 etc. We used to get them but can't now.
Aerial is in loft.

Andy Hillary: If you used to get more channels then you were receiving the signal from Redruth and not your local Perranporth relay transmitter at just under 1 mile away.
You should remove the aerial connection and carry out an auto retune without it being connected to scrub channels already stored, then once done check that nothing is showing in the EPG list, then carry out a manual tune (one at a time) of each mux channel used by Redruth, storing the results after each scan.
Redruths channels being /
44 - 41 - 47 (HD) - 48 - 52 - 51
