Have looked at recommended page : "Too much of a good thing is bad". Can my problem re ArqA & ArqB mux really be due to too much signal - thought that these were transmitting on lower power than other mux channels which are all fine?

Channels on mux55 unwatchable at ox14 4ax. All ok earlier in week. No problems shown for Oxford transmitter but we normally receive good signal strength and quality for all freeview. Confused.

MH: All channels on Ch59 (Sky news etc) breaking up and just watcheable but still nothing on Ch55..... Ox14 4ax.

Programmes on Ch55 and Ch59 remain unwatchable. Why is it that these channels are ALWAYS the ones that give rise to problems? Ox14 4ax

Had Toshiba freeview 19" TV that worked perfectly for a year, then unable to tune chanels on C55/C59 MUX. Did full resets/tune etc but did not remedy. I also have 2 old TV's using freeview box, and another Toshiba freeview TV which tune in to ALL MUX available from Oxford transmitter (Ch53, 55, 59, 60 & 62). Had to be problem with TV so I returned it under warranty and have just received it back from repair (new pcb board fitted and apparently tested and ok). When I set it up, still unable to tune in to any of MUX 55 channels - did retune on my other toshiba freeview TV and all MUX channels duly found! Called repairers, who said replaced pcb met manufacturers spec and,Toshiba who could not offer any advice. It seems bizarre that i have 3 ither freeview tuners that work perfectly yet the 19" toshiba no longer picks up MUX55 (using same lead/aerial socket other receivers use successfully).
Live in OX14 and very good signal strength/good guality and no problems on Oxford transmitter.
Original provider of TV has offered me a new like/like replacement but would welcome any views/ideas re this bizarre situation.

Jb38 I did try manual scan as well, as suggested, but no signal shown. Good signal strength shown for mix channels that it was tuning though. Bizarre that same aerial socket/leads picks up all channels via other freeview tuners but that toshiba 19" suddenly stopped doing so after working perfectly and still won't work after new PCB fitted. Planning on getting Samsung replacement.

Very difficult to get access to aerial directly in lift as no boards etc and I do not want to risk damaging tv before returning it for replacement. Many thanks for your assistance to date.

Happy ending. Just collected my new replacement TV, Samsung, for problem Toshiba. Samsung tuned in to ALL available channels first time with no pixelation/breakup etc. do not think that I will be buying Toshiba again.

Unable to receive any channels BBCA, ArqA or ArqB in OX14 4AX. d3+4 & SDN channels fine.
Normally have good signal/picture on all mux.
No engineering works indicated on transmitter so presumably down to weather conditions......?

All my TV's run off same roof top aerial feed that but very different performance. My two TV's that have built in freeview tuners pick up all channels with good signal strength/quality (95-100% strength & quality) on all channels. My freeview boxes that feed old analogue TV's are same strength/quality as TV's with built in tuners with exception of Ch55 & Ch59. Yesterday for instance, 12 on Ch55, for instance has no signal? Sky News, 82 on Ch59, freezes periodically. Sonewhat confused by this discrepancy. Could there be a problem with my freeview boxes/will this improve when power is increased from 12.5kw on ArqA/B? My postcode is Ox14 4ax.
All channels, including Yesterday/Sky News etc were fine on all TV's/boxes before todats switchover....
