Your posts regarding channels and frequency were ambiguous. Only in post #16 do you refer to LCN 7.
Plus I still cannot find any reference to a channel called "This is Birmingham".
"That's not what you said" obviously refers to post 16.

Are the tuners sensitive or just rubbish?

Well I can only advise on the frequencies we can get off the SC transmitter. This will vary depending on where you live. I know we are right at the range re: distance that according to the transmitter mapping we shouldn't receive this at all. I suspect that due to our elevation there's no physical objects between us and SC transmitter.

Still no mention of "This is Birmingham".
I am starting to think that at least one of us lives in the Twilight Zone
There used to be a second mast linked to SCT, is that still operating and is that, perhaps, why you receive the additional frequency?| Thu 4 Feb 2021 8:59:29 #24 | -

Also, according to Wikipedia this is broadcast from Sutton Coldfield on UHF channel 36 at 1KW as well as channel 48 at 10KW (Comux):

Any reasonably intelligent person could quite easily interpret Fausts post as an indication that perhaps he needed to retune his box (especially considering he reported that he was having issues). Repeatedly stating that he was receiving "This is Birmingham" on channel 36 (when no such channel currently exists with that name) and the fact that we are both on Sutton Coldfield showed a discrepancy. In the same way that someone reporting they were still receiving Sony Movies Christmas when in fact the name had changed and a retune was necessary. Faust even suggested that he shouldn't be able to pick up the channel, which again can be an indication that the user may be collecting signal from more than one transmitter. I had no idea there was a second local mux and perhaps neither did Faust, hence the confusion.
Assuming that he was referring to BirminghamTV is logical but would not necessarily be correct.
This forum is full of similar such reports which is why I posted that my channel configuration was different.| Thu 4 Feb 2021 10:52:23 #27 | -

Actually following an alert on my LG TV that the programme map had changed and to retune this morning This is Birmingham has now changed its name to Birmingham TV. I used this particular frequency in order to demonstrate the weaker tuner of the Aura when compared to the LG and Samsung TV and Panasonic PVR. I thought that I had made that clear. Oh well.

Not being pedantic at all and, for the record, I didn't ring three of my neighbours just to prove a point.
Your post has just 100% proven that there was a discrepancy and a retune was required. Quod Erat Demonstrandum. (Perhaps you should call your neighbours to remind them to retune also?).
If your 8 years here haven't taught you that ambiguous posts and/or reports of receiving/not receiving particular channels are, quite often if not always, down to user error, multiple transmitter reception or misunderstanding, well I don't know what posts you have been reading.
If you want to take offense crack on, because I am bored now.| Thu 4 Feb 2021 12:25:30 #29 | -
