Is anyone able to receive the new HD Channels on C21+ (474.2MHz)?

I have tried manually scanning in 32k mode on that frequency and am picking up nothing.

All other channels seem to be fine.

Wondering If my tuner has a problem picking up DVB-T2

So there is no known problem then?
I live in Southampton, so should be picking up a signal directly.

I have a DVB-T2 capable Tuner.

I don't get a reading at all from C21. Tried 474000 and 474200.

Full signal and quality on everything else.

I guess my tuner just isnt DVB-T2 Compatible, even though it was advertised to support HDTV and AC3.

Maybe it just meant MPEG2 HDTV.

So in other words only HDTV via Normal DVB-T eg Mpeg 2 and not Mpeg 4?

Blast it!

Heres the log from the tuning. It finds signal strength, but no quality. So does this mean its definitely not DVB-T2 Compatible?

thanks for the help, looks like ill have to save for one of those tuners!
