    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?

    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 ?
