My old Humax 9200T and my Samsung TV both auto tune the same number fo channels.
But my new Humax Fox T2 does not find:
5* 5USA, Dave, Quest, 5+1, E4, E4+1, More 4 all very annoying.
This means I need to keep mu old unreliable 9200T handy for recording on thses channels.
Anyone suggest how I can get them tuned in on my new Humax?

Try manual tuning see Manual Tuning FAQ
Ok I will give Manual tuning a go.
Thank you.
Manual tuning didnt work for any of the missing channels!
I am scared to set the Fox T2 to Default and start again with seaching the channels as it also displays “HDD Format” in this window and I dont want to do that and lose all my recordings!

What transmitter are you receiving from? Could you provide the first part of your postcode?
We get our signal from the Isle of Wight Postcode PO20.
The Humax 9200T and my Samsung HD TV both pick up every available channel.
I have tried just now to Re set the Humax Fox t” to factory default and re tune.
Now I cant even get all the channels I did get. Film four, Yesterday, E4, 4Seven all pixelated due to bad tuning.
Have you tried checking the channels you use for each MUX against this site?
It might give you some food for thought.
Dont know how to check the channels on this site.
Rowridge transmitter is fully operational and anyway………
I get all the channels on my OLD HUMAX 9200T and my Samsung HD TV so why does the Fox T” not find them all.
Beginning to wish I hadnt bought the thing, been nothing but trouble so far and HUMAX are no help at all!

On the Humax remote press Menu then select Settings then System then Signal detection. Press the OK button which will show a list of numbers. Tell us what those numbers are.

I don’t think you noticed there was a link-to-site there!
The site lists the channels, strengths and alternates (note the difference on polarisation
Update:
I did have the aerial cable split with a Y connector with one going to the Tv the other to the Humax.
So I connected the Humnax directly to the socket in the wall and all the sations tuned in.
But……………………….
Now I get some of them pixelated from time to time. C5 and Film 4 but also the HD channels too although less frequently. I did not have this when I could only get some of the channels and the aerial cable was split.
This is really annoying as the TV, the old Humax and the kitchen Tv all get all the channels all the time with no pixelation.
As far as the signal strength I get 100% for Quality and about 30% to 50% (max) for strength.
I cannot understand why the Fox T2 apparently needs a stronger single strength to work tham my £900 Samsung HD TV does.
Just read a post about a splitter.
I too have an aerial spilter in my loft.
I didnt have any instructions for it. I just thought it was a one in four out type of junction box.
As we only use two of the outlets anyway, should I unplug the other two?
I have no idea if it needs power.
It is not connected to the mains.
I have never had to set any appliance to power it and didnt know I could until I saw the Fox T2 has an aerial power on/off 5v.
Do I need to set this to on?
Update (2)
I disconnected the cables in my splitter in the loft and now have just the Lounge and Kirchen connected. It is a nopowered Back plate type splitter with aerial coaxial cables screwed in.
The picture is still pixellated from time to time on the Fox T2.
But it seesm the HD channels are OK.
The picture is perfect ALL THE TIME on both my old Humax 9200T and my Samsung HD TV.
This is clearly a problem with the Humax Fox T2, not my reception as why do the other Humax and TVs all work fine all the time!
I tried setting the 5v Antenna Power setting and it said that my transmitter was being short circuited so I turned it back to off.
I am RREALLY fed up with this piece of Humax crap. If I cant get it to work it is going back on Monday!
Now a week since I e mailed Humax and no reply!
Great customer “service”
Gave up and called Humax 0844 number!
They sent me an email telling me how to manually tune. Quite different from the instructions in tne manual.
The numbers for the channels in Manual Tuning are not the actual station numbers!
You need to perform it five times to get the stations manually:
1) Tune Channel use number 24
2) Tune Channel use number 27
3) Tune Channel use number 25
4) Tune Channel use number 22
5) Tune Channel use number 28
All using the DVB-T
Then do it again but this time set the tuner to DVB-T2 to get the four HD channels. using number 21.
Before doing manual tuning, when you get the retune Now/Later message, say yes then stop it and dont save the channels. Then start the manual tune and the message wont appear again.

I pointed you to my manual tuning instructions in post two of this thread. Can you explain why having read those instructions you thought you needed to input the station numbers? (Genuine question so that I can see if I can improve the instructions.) Also we could have diagnosed your problem quicker if you had responded to my request for information in post 9 of this thread.

For clarity, the mux channel numbers you have quoted apply to your location but not to anybody living elsewhere in the country.
