thanks dave for your comment

not sure what you mean by " the receiver runs out of memory" as its a receiver only not a recorder? and this never happened prior to 10/4/13

my machine is a philips
my area is north west winter hill

which when i tuned it in prior to 10/4/13 it used to select the itv cluster from the north west
but since the 10/4/13 it selcets the itv cluster from wales and stores it in the channel list for as long as the machine stays turned on but when its turned off the the itv cluster only is lost from the channel listing

i have found a quick way to retrieve the lost itv cluster and thats by selecting manual search and typing in channel 59 this search for the north west itv cluster only and stores it in the channel listing for as long as the machine stays turned on but again when it is turned off the itv cluster is lost.

if this was a problem that I alone was experiencing then i would guess the machine is broken, however im not alone here and the start date for this problem seem to be all in and around the 10/4/13.

the other tvs and freeview tuners and cables are all working fine as far as the itv cluster retention issue are concerned

has anyone cured this issue yet ? if so please share !

has this additional information helped you dave in solving the mystery ?

thanks for those comments

i did a first time installation to clear everything out of the channel list
and pulled out the ariel for the first 50% marker the first half of the search then plugged it back in for the 2nd half
and it was a disaster in so much as
i had no bbc programmes at all in the channel list also the itv cluster were still lost when i turned off the machine.

so i did another first time installation
and have all the channels back but again when i turn it off i lose the itv cluster?

there is some success with that manual install in that order

50 - BBC
59 - ITV
58 - ITV3
49 - Pick TV
55 - Film4


a couple of the film 4 cluster are lost when the box is turned off. so it looks like the last channels put in are effect

i did the factory first time install with no ariel in again but this time put channel 49 pick tv in last and the same happened some of channel 49 are lost when i turn off

is there another channel i can put in last that will not affect the winter hill channels or lose all the channels from these clusters

50 - BBC
59 - ITV
58 - ITV3
49 - Pick TV
55 - Film4
