    Which way does your aerial point and are the elements (flat horizontal) or vertical ?

    There are a number of possibilities. Sutton Coldfield covers some locations in Derby.

    Use the links here and your postcode to check the most likely transmitter

    Just tried the links they need updating

    Try

    I am closer to Nottingham than you and use Waltham and Nottingham (Kimberley). For Waltham your aerial will point slightly south of east and the elements of the aerial will be horizontal. I doubt you will be using Nottingham but if so your aerial will be pointing NE and the elements will be vertical. Sutton Coldfield has West Midlands content and you've asked for East Midlands but for completeness your aerial will be pointing SW. My guess is you're using Waltham from South of Derby.

    Waltham: 29-31-32-34-35(HD)-37-41-55(HD)-56(HD).
    Nottingham: 21(HD)-24-27-33-36-44-48.

    EDIT: If you're anywhere near Aston-on-Trent I have a friend there who uses the Waltham transmitter.

    Are you certain that you need to retune? Sometimes you can be mislead into believing you need to just because some obscure channel has changed its name, or something as simple as that.

    If you really need to retune, can you try to establish, by looking at the tuning menus, the channel number for at least one Mux you are receiving and that will help others to fathom out which transmitter you are receiving to give you the whole list.

    There was a change of multiplexes yesterday for the East Midlands, not just a new shopping channel.

    Thanks for all the really prompt replies.My aerial points the same as nearly all the other aerials in my road, towards Waltham.The result gives me good reception apart from transmitter channels 31 and 37 where strength is 72% and 66%.On 55 there is no signal.Anyway thanks to you all

    That sort of signal strength is plenty, quality is the important thing and should be 100%. Strange you're not picking up the HD channel on 55.

    when you were looking at channel 55 did you change the modulation to DVB-T2 ?

    Hello,
    I had the same problem and have just done manual tune for Waltham.
    I am not sure about the numbers, I used 29-31-32-34-35 but 35 gave nothing, so
    29 31 32 34 has got me up and running, should I have had a couple of more numbers can you please let me know I DO NOT HAVE HD.
    Thank you kindly
    Peter/
