Thanks for the reply. The software I use for the HTPC is getting the frequencies from a scan of the NIT. They're still implementing and adjusting the software for the NIT scan (http://www.4therecord.eu/), but I also tried what the software calls 'a scan including the offset frequencies' (bit of a mounhful ;)) after the first change in March and still picked up the same duplicate channels. Also tried MediaPortal's (http://www.team-mediaportal.com/) TV Server with the same results.
Hopefully it'll settle down after 18th April. It's not a huge hassle manually removing the channels, I was just curious where they may be coming from.
Thanks again

Hi first time I've posted so i'll include as much info as possible. Two days ago I lost all signal on two multiplexes previously I'd retuned for switch over and received all channels. I retuned again today and now definetly missing one multiplex (i think its d, it had film4 on) and possibly some other channels. Any advice on how to fix and cause would be appreciated.

I too have a missing Mux and I think we'll have to wait until the 18th when the final shift around takes place and the planned power increase takes affect.
