Sony probs since switchover

The Craigkelly transmitter has had the first retune and I seem to be
having problems with Sony gear. A recordable DVD will tune in the
channels but when turned off, it loses just BBC1 & 2. A Sony 22" puts
a lot of the channels in the 800s. I also had a Grundig receiver that
wouldnt pick up the BBC channels even on a manual retune. All these
were under 2 years old. I can only hope that the next retune sorts the
problems.

I am receiving from Angus and Craigkelly and in East Lothian - this leads to
confused tuning. Higher power on 15 June should fix things.

Have you reset the tuning memories back to factory defaults, and run a fresh
complete scan ?

Sounds to me that in all three cases, you've done an 'add' rather than 'wipe
and re-store' ?

What are the exact model codes ?

That's an interesting coincidence. I use Black Hill. Before last
Monday, a retune would find the Craigkelly transmissions with very
low signal quality, and discard them. Since Monday, the Craigkelly
BBCA multiplex is found with moderate quality. No surprise there.
Now the Craigkelly versions of the BBC channels appear starting
at 800, *except* BBC1 and BBC2. What's different about those two?

On Monday (the day after tomorrow) BBCA on Black Hill will move
and increase in power, so you may have more fun then...

Oh yes. I wonder how long I've been off by two days for.

As The Police said, tommorow's another day (Tuesday).

For the situation where channels disappear when the power is turned off
and back on, you could try deleting ones you'll never watch before you
turn the power off. That fixed a similar problem on a Bush IDTV I once
had - presumably there wasn't enough flash memory to store all the
channels.

Probably isn't the answer here but it's worth a try.

Has the problem gone away since the 15th, when the duplication of
some channels ended?
