Is it worth putting my attenuator back on and to turn it down so the signal strength is between 65-75%?
I posted the pics earlier re the DTG. I’m not too sure where I should be reading. But if I’m reading right then it is 31.

I thought it said 31 as well (but it’s a tad blurred), that’s why I checked elsewhere. Certainly worth trying the attenuator, but that still leaves the mystery why the box has locked on to the wrong frequency carrier. If it had been 31+ it would have made some sort of sense but it’s bang on 554.0 MHz.
Is there any way on your TV to identify which UHF carrier Com 7 is using ?
I do appreciate your help. I’ve put the attenuator back and turned it down. Channel 107 is at 65% which is higher than some of the other channels I checked (ranging from 50-60%). I’ve got a Samsung TV and cannot see any option to check things like you can with the Humax. The main reason I got this PVR was because my humax freeview box (from Plusnet) was having the same issues. And it seems to be the brand. I don’t want to return this but if it continues to behave like this then it’ll have to go back.
Anyone with a Samsung TV know how to check the UHF Mux used by a specific channel ? Is there a manual tune option ?
Hopefully someone can help. I’m not technically minded at all, sorry!

I would be very surprised if the TV did not at least have manual tune which you can use (You don’t actually have to scan). Only ever had Sony and Panasonics TV’s. If you post the model number there may be a manual on line available.
It’s a Samsung ue40ju7000

Tuning broadcast signals manually Try Now (MENU/123) MENU Broadcasting Channel Settings Manual Tuning
You can scan for all the channels manually and store the scanned channels in the TV. To stop scanning, select Stop. ” This function is only available on certain models in specific geographical areas. ” This function is only available when Aerial is set to Terrestrial or Cable.

Grand. Odd though, the channels I can retune manually start from channel 32. There’s no channel 31.
To clarify, only channels 32, 34, 39, 41, 44, 44, 45 and 47.
Not sure if that means anything to you.
I’m scratching my head.

Looks like you can only choose MUX found on a auto tune. As you have 32 on both, your communal system must be doing something very odd to your Freeview com 7 frequency.
Channel 32 is 562 MHz. Channel 31 is 554 MHz.
Can you try the box at a friends with a normal aerial ?
I know that they installed a new aerial a while back, before I had to use a signal booster to get a decent signal. I’ll try the box at a mates and get back to you. So far, though, the attenuator seems to be helping (at least on the humax).
Thanks for your help thus far though, it is appreciated.
Thanks for clarification of channel number when tuned to 107
Looks to me, with those channel numbers that are tuned to Hannington.
(guessing one of the 44’s is meant to be 42)
Hmmm, so I took this around my mates house who lives about a mile away from me – same problems
FYI – not managed to take this round to a mates to test things – but the attenuator seems to be doing the trick.
