Yes, I did refresh my channel list as a first action after browsing this site for self help before posting. I had a new aerial and cabling suitable for freeview installed about a year ago in readiness for the switchover but I do have a games console installed close by my freeview/PVR box. Your link indicates that as I've lost EPG data to each channel in group 1 that may be an issue so I'll try some rearranging.
Thanks again Briantist

Hello again
I stil have no EPG data on the BBC multiplexor despite completing all the checks indicated. I think I'll wait for the Emley Moor first stage switchover and hope retuning fixes it. I can still record via sky plus and, of course, manual recording on my PVR.
Thanks for the interest though, very grateful.
regards
Adrian Rodgers

Briantist: Genius post and thank you once again. Your link led me to search for other BBC channels, high up and yes, I found them transmitting with EPG data on Channel 27 which I believe is the Sheffield relay and which would explain why they took over on the Sheffield first stage switch over day. Signal strength however is poor at 30% and occasionally blocky so I'm at a loss to understand how they dominate the Emley Moor signal at 82% strength.
However, I'll now attempt to force my freeview box to adopt the Emley Moor transmission on ch52. Instructions in the booklet are non-existent so I guess I'll need a few attempts. Maybe I will wait for the first stage switchover of Emley Moor just to avoid going through the cycle again.
Thank you once again.

Briantist: You asked for an update following Emley Moor switchover re my loss of EPG data from the BBC Mux. Well, stage 1 was today and following a retune I now have full EPG data on BBC channels on what is now shown as channel 47, the new BBC channel out of Emley Moor. Even better, they once again appear at the head of my channel list so I no longer have to search high amongst the err, 'gentlemen's special interest' channels to gain EPG data and set up my PVR. So, job done for stage 1. Thank you again for taking an interest and helping.

Sheffield
Hello
My postcode is S25 2XS and I receive signals from Emley Moor. Since 10th August I have had no EPG data on BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 & Cebeebies, all of which, from what I have read, are on the same Mux and when I inspect channel information they all appear on channel 52. There is no problem with receipt of the channels and signal quality and strength for each hover around circa 82%.
Interestingly, 10th August is a first stage switchover date for the reasonably local Sheffield and Chesterfield transmitters but I have an aerial with horizontal panes which points directly to Emley Moor with no physical barriers in-between.
I have cleared my channels by running set up whilst the RF is disconnected and then re-run with the connection re-made in order to recreate my channel list but the problem persists.
Do any of you experts out there have any ideas what the issue may be?
Fingers crossed
Adrian Rodgers
