Below are all of John 's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.One further comment to add to my previous 'no C21' signal problem.
The TV that I have the Humax connected to is not HD or HD ready (so obviously I will not be able to watch HD TV!). However I am assuming that the Humax tuners should still be able to 'see' C21 if a transmission signal is being received.
Is there perhaps a signal between an HD TV and a digital tuner, without which tuning of the HD MUX is inhibited, and hence zero signal level is displayed? This could also account for why my other 2 non HD digiboxes also show zero signal for C21.

Thanks for that Gerald, it all works ok now.
I wish the man on the Humax help-line had given similar advice when I first encountered the problem. I would have saved myself four hours of trial and tribulation!(He said the transmitter must be down!).
Thanks again
John

Perhaps I should explain why I was doing a manual tune. I didn't want any channels other than those from the Rowbridge transmitter. On an auto-tune I was picking up a number of the higher MUXs.
I have previously used a Humax PVR9300, which gave occasional problems with the recording schedule, which Humax put down to having these higher MUXs present. They recommended a manual tune to minimise this problem.
When I spoke to the Humax help-line early yesterday re. my problem with C21, I made them fully aware that I was tuning manually, and that it was the HD channel That I couldn't get.

Hi,
My postcode is BN16 1RB (East Preston)
I have a wideband aerial on the roof pointing at Rowbridge.
I am just installing a Humax HDR-FOX T2 HD+ PVR.
Get all MUXs Ok except for one - C24, C27, C30,C33 and C37 all ok, C21 (HD MUX) no signal at all.
Have checked this on 2 other (non-HD) digi-boxes and both show zero signal on C21.
Prior to the digital swithover I believe C4 was on C21, and we had no problems receiving this. Any ideas? Thanks.
