By providing a full postcode (such as W1A 1AA), national grid reference (for example SE123456) or latitude, longitude pair (like 54, -0.5) this page will provide a map, terrain plot and detailed information of the location showing the UK and RoI television transmitters that it is possible you receive Freeview, Freeview HD, Youview, BT TV and Saorview from.
(Don't know your postcode? Find it at Post Office Postcode finder).
UK Free TV uniquely shows you transmitter coverage maps, aerial to transmitter terrain plots, the closest 10 mobile phone masts (for possible 5G-at-800 interference) as well as tabulated information (sorted by direction, by received signal strength, by frequency, by service names or by transmitter name).

Fiona: Since, as you point out, there are no problems with the transmitter, so it has to be your aerial system. Start with the obvious - has the aerial lead fallen out of the back? Then trace the cable as far up as you can. If the aerial is in the roof, you can check it, and obviously make sure that any boosters, etc are working. And then call someone out...you might want to look at this thread to make sure your not ripped off...
What price for an aerial installation?

David Hawke: There could a couple of reasons, but first check which transmitter your tuned to and signal strength - could be too weak or too strong. Also then check your aerial - is it working properly. And is the problem constant, and particular time, and what exactly happens?

My Luxor Lux-dvbt2-690 can no longer receive HD channels since some alteration from the Winter Hill Bolton station.
I understand this is a software problem and that there may be a software upgrade, if so, how do I perform this.

Phil Almond: To my knowledge there hasn't been an O.A. (over air) software update download for your particular Luxor model as yet, the Vestel T8300 chassis fitted in same being used by approximately twelve other brand names and with all of obviously suffering from the same problem as your Luxor.
With regards to the procedure used to update the software, you can find out the info required by opening the following link, the first page that appears explaining the problem and with the second (viewed by clicking on "Service bulletin document") explaining the procedure used. (not for the faint hearted!)
Unofficial Vestel PVR Information (UK) - News
However, an O.A. download is by far the most convenient way to update the software and the second link is to DTG's info page of weekly downloads which be viewed by opening the link, and although no updates are mentioned for this week its advisable to check it every few days.

i have had a new aerial fitted, it pokes over a flat roof covered in aluminum cladding( about 8 inches from the sheet metal). Could this be the reason for poor reception?

It certainly does not help! It is best to mount an aerial away from any conducting material, such as an aluminium roof, etc. The metal can upset the way the aerial should work and give unexpected results.
Some years ago a copper domed roof caused a total loss of reception for six houses in the same road, the roof 'bending' the RF signals away from that part of the road!

elil: The missing channels are transmitted by the COM7 multiplex on C31 / 554.00 Mhz, this being a much lower powered transmitter radiating at just over 16Kw compared to the other COM's on 50Kw.
The other point being that C31 is aerial wise out of group with all the other channels used by Oxford, and if the aerial installed was, as is most likely, a group C/D type to give maximum reception of these channels (i.e: a C50 - C60 channel span) then this will be inefficient at receiving low frequencies such as C31 resulting in a low signal strength being received which might be under the reception threshold level for your receiver, therefore should this apply then your aerial will require changing to a wideband type.
The way to test if this situation applies or not is to go into your TV's set up menu / tuning, selecting "manual" tune and entering C31 / 554.00 Mhz into the box but NOT followed by pressing search or scan, because if any signal is there to receive its strength / quality will show on the indicator bars. If something is seen make a note of the level then enter C50 (ITV3 etc) into the box and make a note of the levels seen from it compared with C31.
