I have no BBC1, 2 or 3 through set top box. All disappeared a week ago but are received OK on the other 2 TVs in the house (the other two are digital TVs not through set top). On the set top the missing channels only show the 'no signal' symbol but they are fully listed on the EPG. All signals come in via good new (last year) aerial, splitter and we have powered signal booster in loft as historically analogue reception was not good (DY7). I have reset,rescanned over and over, checked the selected channels but still can't get BBC1,2,3. All other channels coming in with perfect pictures. We've been digital here for ages and it has always been fine. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks Brian/Mike. It's a Thompson DTI6300 and not on Brian's list but is on the link from Mike, listed as "Products that have not received an OAD freeze when receiving the first multiplex". Sorry but I'm a non-techie - does this mean it's time to shell out (again) for new equipment or will this right itself at switch over?

Thanks. I think the software is up to date (v.7.04).
Just been on phone to Digital Uk who say that there is problem with reduced signal strength for these channels during switch over but that it will be resolved after the 21st. Time will tell then.

Thanks for the very helpful info here on reducing signal strength. I've been battling with no HD reception for weeks, Sony shop and helpline useless. Found this and resolved it in seconds by disconnecting the booster we had fitted before the switchover/increase in signal from Sutton Coldfield. HD channels now sparkling! No dropping out and no pixellation. Thanks!

On channels 3 to 6 we have multicolored vertical stripes with a faint picture behind. Sound is OK. I Ihave rescanned but same result. Other channels are fine. Is this to do with ongoing work on the SC transmitter? It's one thing after another latley - no EPG half the time and haven't been able to rely on recording anything either.
