C56 (754.0MHz) after switchover
Friday 23 March 2012 11:31AM

All channels work after switchover at Whitehawk except Ch 56/754 MHz. All programs within this group such as Sky news cannot be found. Signal strength is shown as around 8 on scale of 10. Signal quality is 0. Manual Tuning achieves nothing. Any suggestion. The site is a comunual aerial installation. The aerial is on top of a 17 story block and points directly at Whitehawk.

Thank you. You have almost confirmed my suspicions. There was a new mux and aerial installed some three years ago so as prempt any problems with the switchover. The fact that you have identified the fact that ch 56 has not been used until now may well have a significant bearing on the scene. Early next week I shall contact the installers to ask them to come out and check their equipment. Yes there are others with the same problem as well. A lot of residents use cable so its difficult to filter. I have not checked the HD channel.In fact I have not established if Whitehawk are transmiting HD. I suppose they should be. Will have to check. Will advise outcome in due course.

Adam,

The techies came in today and low and behold both missing chanels (56 and 51 HD) now up and running. Not sure what they did yet as I am not on the site but I hope to find out soon.

Obviously the distribution set up in the block was the problem.
