Hi Dave, thanks for your help. I've now managed to solve the problems by eliminating electrical interference and using a shorter lead, which enabled me to receive COM4 and COM5, and by installing a battery operated aplififier just before the Freeview HD box I was also able to regain access to PSB3. All the channels now working, and I'm a happy camper :D

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out. I'm renting a house at PO1 5JP, and I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with my Freeview signal. I seem to be missing PSB3, COM4 and COM5. COM6 lists a weaker reception than PSB1 and PSB2, but it does work fine. I tried a few things to check what the problem might be, like moving cables around so they were clear of the Coax, but no improvement. I even unplugged the aerial pass-through RF lead from the back of my Freeview+ HD box but that actually made things worse, as I lost COM6 when I did that. Plugging it back in restored COM6. My alternative amplified indoor aerial couldn't get any signal at all when I pointed it straight at Rowridge with the power all the way up. I doubt it's a problem with the box as I was able to tune all the multiplexes with it at my parents' house in Peterborough. Is there anything that any of you can suggest might be the problem? I'm a bit stumped :/
