    Graham hi - sorry added to the last but one post -
    clicking on the WOLFBANE link brings up a Grey screen with a no entry sign in the top left hand corner - that's all that is showing for me

    Search for Wolfbane in your Web Browser and open the site.

    Signal strength has nothing to do with the box, but everything to do with the aerial etc. and location.

    When signal strength is reported as a percentage then I think it is entirely possible that different makes and model of PVR will give different readings for the same signal.

    Which is why I said what I did. And I suspect that different readings is very likely.

    Personally I would not trust Wolfbane. For my location using the Nottingham transmitter Wolfbane shows six multiplexes, there are actually seven and two of the channel numbers are wrong. The information for my other possible transmitter Waltham is worse, they may as well have used random numbers. Maybe the information for your location is better.

    Trying to interpret your post

    Looks like the channel UHF channels you need are

    53 60 50 57 59 55 68

    Remove the aerial from you box and do a auto tune. It should find no channels.

    Replace the aerial

    Then you use manual tune on all the above in turn. Trying DVB-T or T2 to confirm a signal. Scan and save the results in turn till you have checked them all.

    make a note of strength and quality you get on each.

    Wolfbane seems to be way out of date, I think that all UHF channels above 55 are no longer in use.

    The numbers came from the Freeview site

    There does not seem to be anywhere that you can easily find accurate up to date details.
