    It wasn't letting me get into "installation."
    .....

    'Installation' is greyed-out if the machine is recording or playing back a recording, were you doing either of these things?

    I understand that your Manual Tuning instructions are also relevant for "managing" the inability of the 9300's EPG to cope with all the Freeview channels now available - by enabling the number of UHF channels accessed to be reduced. I think I read in another post that it might also be necessary to cycle the PVR through Standby after completing the retune. I think that might have been my experience, though yet to be confirmed. Should this be mentioned in your instructions also?

    No, because it is not correct. I have no idea where that myth has come from.

    If you've got channels in the 800 range of channel numbers then you do need to do a Manual Search

    does this mean that if i have NOT got any 800 range channels then everything is fine please?
    or is there another way to check that everything has reloaded correctly.
    p.s.
    sorry about resurrecting a post old enough for the time team to be searching for it

    It is a good sign but not a guarantee. One way to check is to find the list of multiplex channel numbers from the DigitakUK web site as per the Biggles instructions and then switch the box to one broadcast channel from each multiplex eg (BBC1, ITV, ITV3, Pick, 4Music) and use the Signal detection menu to check that it is coming from the correct multiplex.

    thanks for the quick reply Martin, however ...

    sorry, this might be really obvious but, unfortunately, not to me.

    how do i know which tv/radio stations come from a particular mux?

    i've checked all the stations you mentioned and they are correct.
    that leaves me with channels 31, 56 & 57 (com7 hd, L-man & G-man)
    the first of which, i assume, is hd so not for me.

    I presume that your question is from an interest perspective. You don't really need to know anymore than you already do as you know the frequency numbers and Martin has provided an example set of channels that covers all the relevent non-HD/non-local frequencies.

    This will show which channel is in which multiplex.
    http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/industry/Channels/channel_listings

    By putting in your postcode on that link you will be given enough detail to relate each mux names to one of your transmitter’s frequencies.

    actually it's a little more than just interest ...
    i can see from the digitaluk site (for my addy) that winter hill also transmits (i.e. as well as the channels i have indentified) on a mux called "L-man". however, i can't find this mux on the channel listing page.

    [joke]
    have i discovered a classified CIA transmitter & should i seriously consider fleeing to moscow in exile with ed snowden ?

    L-MAN is only transmitted at 2kW power as opposed to the main multiplexes which are at 100kW. Let us know if you find out what it carries.

    that's probably because it's secret martin
