I’ve been trying some fixes for my HDR Fox T2, to get better signal quality, but am having difficulty.
The Humax less than 1 month old, but there are a handful of channels, maybe 5-6+ that regularly break up, and sometimes completely un-watchable, e.g BBC1, CH4, BBC2.
I should note, I don’t get any of these problems with the tuner in my TV.
One thing I noticed when first installing, it asked me to choose my region. There were 3 options
I’m in West Norfolk, so my region is Anglia, however no matter what I select, East Midlands defaults to CH 1. Same happens if I choose North.
The Anglia and North regional BBC channels appear in the 800 list, but Anglia breaks up a lot, whereas North is fine, as is East Mids. I’m used to having North as Anglia can be weak (weirdly) around here, although it’s much better than is was 10-20 years ago. It’s fine at my parents, about 8 miles away.
I’ve been to the Digitaluk website and checked for the best transmitter. The one with most green bars is Tacolneston, which I jotted down the numbers for (Heading ‘N’).
E.g: 55, 59, 62, 42 45 50
When I do a manual search under these numbers no channels are found. So I don’t seem to be able to solve it using the common solution on this website. (can't post link, but guess you know what i mean)
If I do an auto search and check the Signal Detection, I get channels: 22, 25, 28, 29, 30, 53, 60. All of these have at least 75% signal strength, except 49 and 61, which are below 50%
Finally, I can’t work out how to move channels around. E.g 860 needs to be 1.
Any help appreciated
