No re setting transmission type as didn’t know how you knew which to set to what but it’s been clarified so will do that when I finish in the garden.
When you do that please would you note down which ones do find channels and which ones don’t find channels.
I suspect it will be 23, 26 and 29 which do find channels.
23 BBC B (DVB-T2) Signal strength 100KW
26 BBC A Signal strength 100KW
29 D3&4 Signal strength 100KW
31 COM7 (DVB-T2) Signal strength 18KW
37 COM8 (DVB-T2) Signal strength 18KW
40 ARQ B Signal strength 50KW
43 SDN Signal strength 50KW
46 ARQ A Signal strength 50KW
Just tried again and nothing found at all on any channel.
The neighbours aerials are rotated 60 degrees from us to WNW (Bilsdale) whilst ours points SW (Emley Moor?) Question is – is it a case of rotating the aerial to the WNW or will it also require a new aerial?
So have been up and turned the aerial round to 296 degrees (Bilsdale). Did another automatic scan and it found 136 channels. Tries BBC 1 and get s stream without freezing now. Looked through the channels 3 times and I don’t see any saying HD – should I?
101 BBC 1 HD, 102 BBC 2 HD, 103 ITV-HD, 104 Channel 4 HD, 105 Channel 5 HD plus others if you have COM 7 and COM 8.
106 BBC Four HD
107 BBC News HD
108 Al Jazeera English HD
109 Channel 4 +1 HD
110 4seven HD
111 QVC +1 HD
112 QVC Beauty HD
113 Russia Today UK HD
You need to follow the manual tune procedure.
All DVB-T except DVB-T2 for PSD 3, COM 7 and COM 8
None of them asre there so will have to reset and go manual again.
Have followed Humax instructions as per an email and will paste them below. I still have 0 channels found on channels 23, 31, 37

• Once you have completed the search and saved the results for all channel numbers please press the exit button, this completes the manual tune.
When you selected 23 31 and 37 and DVB-T2 what signal strength and quality was shown ? If you didn’t notice simply select manual tune DVB-T2 and manual tune and each in turn. If you get a strength and quality and then scan, how many channels does the box find on each of the above. I think you may fallen foul of a bug I found in manual tune.
I got all the channels after switching transmitters but they failed to save properly.
I seem to have discovered a very strange bug in smart retune.
Having a spare Vision log 36 I decided to see if I could get Com 7 and 8 from Sutton Coldfield. Having connected it I did a smart retune without issue, however signal strengths aren’t as good as Lark Stoke and there’s not a sniff of COM 7 and 8, so I reconnected the Lark Stoke aerial.
Smart retune found the usual 145 channels. After saving the box reports no or low signal on PSB 1 and 2. Quick check showed 87% signal 100% quality on both. Tried a manual scan which found the channels without issue.
After saving still no signal reported. A full auto retune worked fine but I did of course have to re-enter the schedule, losing the one I was watching to see if it auto-deleted.
One thing you can try is fit a variable TV attenuator and find the point you can reduce the signal level on the above mux frequencies and still get 100% quality. Now try a auto retune.
I get no channels and I don’t see signal strength mentioned under each channel. I don’t know what COM 7 and 8 are?
Just had another look and under all channels HD and none HD it says signal strength and quality 0

Think you are confusing logical channel numbers (lcn) with UHF channels used to deliver the content. The UHF channel is known as a MULTIPLEX (shortened to Mux), this has all the main HD channels mixed together (Multiplexed).
UHF channel 23 is used on Bilsdale to deliver the main PSD Multiplex carrying the 5 main HD channels. lcn 101 to 105.
COM 7 uses UHF 31 and COM 8 uses UHF 37.

You need to enter manual tune and select channel 23 and DVB-T2. What do you get at the bottom of the screen for signal strength and quality ?
