    70% signal strength is ideal. Silly question but have you had a careful look at the aerial cabling? It has been known for water to get into the cabling and cause this sort of selective loss of multiplexes.

    Well, I live in Glasgow and there is certainly no shortage of rain.
    Not sure I fancy clambering onto the roof to find out since I'm on the top floor of a tenement block!
    Could water damage really be that selective? All is fine when aerial goes directly into TV.

    If the aerial lead goes into a wallbox try starting at that end behind the set.

    I agree it is not intuitive but something is hampering the Humax and there have been reports in the past about poorly made joints and water ingress both selectively affecting some multiplexes. I can only suggest a process of elimination. Perhaps you could take the Humax to a neighbours house and see if it works properly there. If it does you know the problem is local to your installation.
