    Has anyone got problems with Channel 67 (Freeview) from Limavady (Multiplex 1 - BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, News 24 etc.)? There is break-up on these channels, and when it rains it gets worse. All the other channels are perfect.

    Hello Inishowen. I spotted this post when searching for info on the same problem. I was getting a good signal on C67 before Christmas but now it's very weak, fading in and out. I don't know if they turned it down or if it's interference from something else. The results are the same with three different tuners.

    I never got C58, but then it's not a strong signal accoring to this site. However there is no problem with C53 even though it's also supposed to be weak as well.

    Is anyone in a position to confirm if Ch67 (Multiplex 1) from Limavady is broadcasting with an erroneous negative offset? A number of the UHF channels run fairly close 57/ 58 which are both negative offsets. 65/ 67 which should carry nothing.

    There is a stream of complaints currently with problems relating to the tuning of Ch67 on a variety of stb's. The analogue channels overlap the 8MHz frequency band a bit and if there is a digital channel above or below they are shifted away. If a digital channel is above or below an offset channel then they are usually also offset the same way to maintain their 8MHz bandwidth.

    The range of the phase lock loop seems to be missing the channel and only when manually tuned it becomes available. Trying to figure out if this is a widespread problem.
