    As expected, COM8 it is for CBeebies-HD and BBC4-HD.

    Yep and when I think its going to go smoothly BBC4 HD and C beebies are nowhere to be found after an automatic and a manual retune.

    I know the channels they are supposed to now be on. Band 31 and channel 106 for BBC 4 HD on Winter Hill now but nothing there for me on the Humax

    Im getting sick of this even though I can fairly rapidly delete the dross and set up my channels again.

    So right now I no longer have BBC 4 HD

    Do a signal check on UHF 37 (COM 8). If you have no signal you may have a aerial issue. COM 8 is lower power than COM 7 (COM 7 (UHF 31) 25.7kW COM 8 (UHF 37) 22.6kW).

    Just a quick clarification. When doing a manual scan, you are selecting DVB-T2 on the tuning menu page?

    Also, according to Grahams post above 'band 31' is COM7. You need to scan 37 for COM8.

    Yes everyone I look closely at what signals are being received and switch to DVB T2 when necessary.

    I will give it another go tonight and I refer to the Winter Hill webpage where the channel is supposed to be now.

    Its listed on COM 7 Band 31

    Im not getting COM 8 on a lower power but not missing anything on that

    Yes you are. BBC 4 HD has moved to COM 8. The internet information hasn't caught up yet. If you want to continue watching you may need to improve your aerial

    What does the DTG (detailed view) say about your COM 8 reception ?

    Based on past performance you may have to wait a few years for some unofficial Winter Hill webpage to catch up.

    For what is on each mux see http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/channels/channel_listings for a list that continues to be kept up to date.

    Except that in this case it is also out of date
