Mendip transmitter started the digital switchover today, since then the BBC channels have failed to work. Performing a rescan failed to find any channels on transponder 1:

1tp - 778167 8: No Signal

Do I need to update something now that the switchover has started ?

Yep, the BBC A mux has moved to 791167 (UHF61) and the tuning profile for Mendip needs updating to reflect this. If you scan all channels, you should get the missing channels. Alternatively, replace 778167 with 791167 in the tuning paramaters xml.

Annoyingly, another 3 muxes move at the April retune, so there's no sense in submitting a new tuning profile for inclusion at the moment.

hmm, interestingly I had to change it to 794000 (offset 167) to get it to work ? 791167 failed to find any channels

Picked up the new tuning profile, but still fail to find any channels! The scan seems to be over very quickly! Any ideas ?

Ah seems, I had to change my TV cards to DVBT instead of Generic then all works ok! Fails to find any channels on transponder 3 (770000) ? I assume this is the HD multiplex ?

Yep, 770000 is for HD. The annoying thing is that 4 of the Muxes will move again in 2011!
