Terrestrial reception problems with new HD51

[hungerdunger]

How are you feeding each tuner in the HD51? Splitter? Loop through from one tuner to the other?

What exactly are each of your tuner settings?

How did you scan for channels?

SICILIAN:

1) Loop through

2) Is this what you are after? 20180501_134411.jpg

3)Manual scan for each channel of local transmitter, and on both tuners. I have since done an automatic scan using ABM, as suggested by adm, but with no improvement.


Andy_Hazza:

I'm using the same cables as previously with the Toppy. Connections appear to be OK.

adm:

I've done what you suggested with no improvement. Should I have cleared the tuners first? I think it found something like 96 video channels, but when I select any of the SD ones using the EPG button on the remote I still get "Tune Failed".

The signal strength on the Toppy was around 70 for the 10k channels and low 90s for the 20k channels.

Incidentally there is ONE SD channel I can get, which is Film 4 + 1 which is the only SD channel on the HD MUX. Does that make any sense?

Anyway, thanks everyone for your replies so far. Please keep them coming but I probably won't be free to reply until around 7pm.

70 sounds like a pretty poor signal strength to me, I'm a long way from Belmont, but my toppy still gets around 100, except in bad weather.

I get 140+ freeview channels, including tv and radio.

Which transmitter are you using?
