I have a new outside aerial pointing to Wrekin.

After complete retune I now receive 58 channels whereas prior to retune I had 7 channels.

Please also advise how or when I can expect to receive the channels on:
COM5 - Arq A and COM6 - Arq B

BJ: Some changes are being made at The Wrekin on 28th September this year. After that date, you should be able to get a perfect signal on all six mux's.

Hope this helps,
Adam.
