John Plant: Derby only provides the three PSB multiplexes. Its purpose originally was to provide the East Midlands BBC One and ITV1 services to viewers using the Sutton Coldfield transmitter.
C48 is Derby BBC A and C46 is Sutton Coldfield D3&4. C29 is Waltham SDN. That suggests your box/TV just stores the first version of the channels that it finds.
The predictions are slightly better from Waltham than from Derby, so I suggest you do a manual retune using the channel numbers on the Waltham transmitter page. See Digital Region Overlap for more ideas on how to get the services you want tuned in.

Hi, since yesterday my Freeview reception has gotten very bad to the point where T.V. is unwatchable now. And is even worse after a re-scan. Does anyone know of any problems in the Derby area? Postcode DE1 1AJ.
Thanks,
Leavon.

Martyn: The Derby relay, which is transmitted from a mast in Littleover village, is intended to serve viewers living in the Allestree/ Chester Green/Chaddesden/ Oakwood areas with their aerial pointing towards Sutton Coldfield. If your receiver has stored Sutton Coldfield frequencies in the "normal" positions in the channel list the East Midland variations will appear in the 800s on most receivers, if there is a signal present from the Derby relay. To place the East Midlands in preferred positions in the channel list you will need to do a manual tune of the Derby frequencies (C48 and C51), after first clearing the channel list, then add the Sutton Coldfield COM frequencies C39, C42 and C45.

Daz: In the interests of accuracy your brothers post code is really required, but on a test code of S32 5AA (Hope Valley Post office) the Calver Peak PSB only relay is indicated as being located at just under two miles away and its HD is on mux Ch39.
If though you receive the BBC and ITV without glitching then your problem is inclined to suggest that the box being used is not fitted with a DVB-T2 tuner, this being a necessary requirement for HD reception.
Would you know the model number of the box in question?

Since 5.30am today (27.12.14), have no signal for most channels. Usually get good reception on all through a signal booster in lounge, 4 way splitter is in loft, aerial on chimney stack on roof. All TVs in house affected, the only channels available are those from multiplex COM4. Usual checks/retunes/deletion of all channels and another first time installation done. Still no channels except those from MUX COM4. Waltham and Sutton Coldfield transmitters are both a long way away but are our nearest proper transmitters and give a full selection of channels normally. House halfway up a hill in a sort of geological 'basin'. Snowfall last night when BBC2 was pixellating somewhat (unusual) checked aerial and cables - no damage) weather bright today with clear skies, snow on ground. Tonight TV reception still the same, no improvement. Four mobile phone aerials are in close proximity to house - does anyone know if these have been switched to boost 4G signal today?? As apparently this can block TV signal boosters. I have contacted "at800" but of course no-one there and they take ten working days to come and supply a 'filter' - hope this works if that's the cause. But I am annoyed at having my festive season's viewing disrupted when I have plenty of spare time to be a couch potato at the moment. If today was the big 4G boost at mobile phone masts, then what a mean time to do this to poor pensioners and others who cant afford sky or virginmedia and are dependent on Freeview! But the people who got a 4G mobile phone in their stocking are happy! Has anyone else had problems in my area? Tried everything, will try again tomorrow. Just hope "at800" can send someone and don't just send a device for me to install, as I can't as I have arthritis and am having a hand op very soon, was looking forward to convalescing watching TV!

I put my location into your site as DE24 0RA to check reception at a friend's house.
My location is DE22 2ST, but I cannot see any way of telling your website that I now wish it to revert to my home location.
Please advise how I can do this.
Regards,
John Rosser
