InactiveHi everyone
Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes.
Developed an issue in the last couple of days where channel 68 freeview (horror channel) does not load I.e just black screen and occasional sound snippets. Channel info loads on bottom of screen- the boxes showing what’s on next etc but no main picture.
Every other channel works fine
Have tried unplugging and restarting but still the same
Hoping all that makes sense
Any suggestions?

InactiveHello have you checked the Signal strength and quality. Settings> Channel & Broadcast> Signal Test.
For me the Horror Channel is number 68 and broadcast on the Channel 41 Mux along with channels like More 4
Drama, 5 USA, Quest and others, all these channels work fine with picture and sound but the Horror Channel has no picture and the occasional blip of sound.
Have you tried a manual retune on that particular Mux

ParticipantChannel 68 for me shows 96% Signal Strength and 100% Quality. Loft Aerial 30 mls from a relay transmitter. However Like the OP I have the same issue so it must be a broadcaster issue, If the other channels on the same Mux work OK. It has to a broadcaster issue most likely on the link providing the video and audio data to the op’s transmitter. Contact the broadcasters on line help webpage.
The epg data is complete.

InactiveHi macaronipie
When I select channel 68, then go to signal test page should that show the correct mux channel? If so…
Signal test shows strength 95%; quality 100%
Seems to be showing ch 33 mux here (durris transmitter Scotland)
All the other channels you mention work perfectly, as did horror till yesterday!

Yes that is telling you the signal strength and quality of the UHF carrier on that MUX. The same data is used for all channels multiplexed onto the carrier.
As already posted my box is the same which is a totally different transmitter it has to a broadcaster issue as I also have the problem (Lark Stoke – Sutton Coldfield Relay – West Midlands) . The MUX epg data is complete for channel 68 but I cannot view any content. There must be a issue at the broadcaster with the data links used to deliver the channel video and audio data to the transmitter.

Same aerial ?
If same aerial how does the signal get to the Aura and the other TV’s ? Any amplifiers and/or splitters in the system ?

InactiveI also have a blank screen with this channel, but it is working on a Sony TV connected to the same aerial (via the Aura).

Strange what does the TV that works say about the signal level and quality ?

InactiveThe tv that has aura attached is on one aerial…..
Aerial-aura, then aura-tv. (Aura connected to tv via Hdmi and aerial link)
Other tv’s have their own aerials
Not sure if this helps…..Just tried watching channel via the aura app & it works fine!

Yes, it works fine on the app so there is no problem with signal, but there is a problem with the Aura displaying the channel!

Barry If you Are reading this thread can you see if you get same please

InactiveAudio/Video Options has no information about the video source resolution.

ParticipantIt is working OK on FVP-5000T same aerial . Tis a strange one. Worth following up it could be a clue as to the cause of the pixelation issue.
Catch Up from backwards epg is working. Watching Star Trek with no issues.
