You are on a very old image. Have you tried on ViX 5.3.035 to see if it’s the same?

According to the official Freeview listing, the above are all listed. Update your image and see how you go.

On a ET10000 using Vix 5.3.035 they all work for me using ABM from the Bluebell Hill transmitter.

From which transmitter do you obtain your signals?

Edit: All those channels are on the same MUX (com7) which may/will have been switched off in some areas. Its all part of the move to free up the spectrum for 5G.

All those stations above were broadcast on Channel 56 (754 MHz) [COM8 Arqiva National] which in London has ceased to broadcast (at least on my TV)

Retune needed June 22, bbc4 hd certainly has changed.

If mux's have changed, the best bet is to use Frequency Finder.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the timing of switch off of the MUXs on the 700MHz band and some dates may have been extended due to the Covid Virus. The transmitter page for Winter Hill suggest Nov 2020 for switch off BUT in recent years I have no faith that some of these Freeview related web pages have been maintained and the information could be out of date.

On Bluebell Hill these signals are on Com7 (746 MHz - ch 55)

2. We need to manipulate the data for winter hill. We will need the details as per this thread
https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...ht=winter+hill

3. Frequncy finder (mentioned above) should be used for ABM users

Can we please stop posting frequencies for people using ABM? ABM does not scan, ABM reads the SI tables. If you want to help the OP with ABM, please upload the amended xml file he/she needs to test. And in any case, unless you are using the same mast, there is no guarantee you are using the same frequencies.

If the person is not using ABM, please continue to suggest the frequencies the person should scan.

On Bluebell Hill these signals are on Com7 (746 MHz - ch 55)

COM8 was merged into COM7, with some services being lost.
COM8 has now been shut off (at least it has here - I did another retune today and it's not in lamedb any more).

How can we use this information to help the the OP?

Don't know. Perhaps the terrestrial.xml file in 5.0.16 is out of date and so not scanning the correct channels?
It's also possible that both COM7 and COM8 have been removed from the transmitter. I seem to recall this has happened in a few cases. Beacon Hill and Caradon Hill? So Cornwall/Torbay area.
