    Seemed to have lost BBC 1 2 and 3 didgitally over the past week or two, no signal or very poor now completely.

    During the olympics signal seemed better through the Humax but now not even getting it through it.

    Still have BBC 4 :(, tried retuning the TV but it didnt even tune in BBC 1 2 or 3

    Had the above channels digitally for ages previously ? any ideas ?

    BBC 1+2+3+4 (from Divis) etc are fine on my Humax Freeview Box here in Ardee

    Not worth worrying about signal issues with low power Freeview now anyway, with switchover starting in less than 2 months.

    sorry wasnt clear, Have inbuilt free view on the TV which always had BBC digitally, even when I tuned in the Humax HDR got BBC 1 etc digitaly no problem. Now In the past two weeks I have lost BBC 1 2 and 3 from both the TV and the PVR and when I tried to retune the TV it didnt even pick the channels.

    Thought it was atsmopheric conditions as sometimes it can affect it but am getting absolutely nothing. Still get them on analogue but I miss BBC 3. (Have BBC 4 though) Aerials still the same

    BBC 1, 2, 3, 4, BBC News & BBC Parliament will be broadcast from Divis with 100 kW ERP (as opposed to the present 2.3 kW) from Oct. 10 on UHF channel 27.

    The other channels will be available at full power from Oct. 24, although the commercial muxes will be limited to 50 kW ERP (still a substantial increase from the current situation).

    Are all the BBCs not on the same mux? I know from other forums that some UK viewers with the dreaded Panacronics have lost BBC 1 + 2 in the post-Olympic reshuffle

    Not in pre-switchover areas.

    they are now back (noticed it on the Humax ) so retuned the TV again - strange one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 Newryrep


    and gone again both on TV and Humax

    I assume they are messing around with signal strength prior to changeover ?
