How has the retune for uk freeview gone for you today
I'm not able to tune to bbc 1 or bbc2 , transmitter winterhill , 786167 khz
Anyone else having problems with the retune

Wasnt the re-tune last month??

Try re-scanning again later. I find 6/7pm is the best time with most channels online/

I had to create my own file in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters\dvbt for my local relay which was switched over today, maybe yours needs editing if they've moved frequencies?

There was another retune for uk freeview today , and there is another retune for freeview on Dec 4th 2009, this is to turn off all analog signals

But the retune today, i have lost bbc1 and bbc2 on the feq 786167 khz , winterhill will not tune no signal

I have reinstalled ver 1.02 mediaportal and its the same on that version too, no signal feq 786167 khz winterhill

Could anyone help me to fix this problem on how to find and edit the new feq that is needed, with instrutions

Many Thanks for any help with this problem

OK, what you need to do is a) find out what they've re-tuned it to, and then b) edit the file in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters\dvbt which contains the tuning information to make sure it includes the correct frequencies.

I have to say, looking at this: Freeview on Winter Hill TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent digital TV + switchover advice, since 2002
...I can't work out what's been changed today?

(Also I think you're confusing freeSAT with freeVIEW - what you're talking about here is not freesat it's terrestrial digital, i.e.not satellite.)

Right, from which, we can perhaps infer that they have *re-tuned* it and moved the mux to some other frequency.
Have you done any research into what today's retune entailed?

Postcode Checker - Trade View

Shows the channels, which are: 62-, 66+, 67+, 68+, 56+, 63+/40.

So I reckon you need to change 786167 to 802167, or something. At a guess...

Thanks jonm on your help with this , will have to instal,l mediaportal ver 1.1.0BETA_1, that ver gives you the option to enter the single freq in tv sever configs,

 

[jonm]

Not sure you need to re-install anything but I can't comment on the differences between 1.0 and 1.1 in this area sorry. I've only just today got DVB-T working at all myself as our transmitter was only switched on today, so I've only ever tried it with 1.1 beta, and as I said earlier I had to create my own file with the right frequencies for my transmitter. Have you looked at the files in the directory mentioned above to see if there's one in there for Winter Hill that you can edit?

Thanks jonm, found the folder with the TuningParameters for winterhill and changed them , but freq 786167 khz , still wont tune no signal, need to find out if it has changed, and to what, to edit it in the TuningParameters
