</div></div>If you look at:<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><a href="http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/dtt_channels.html" target="_blank">http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/dtt_channels.html</a><br>
</div>you will see that most ITV channels fall into MUX2. Then you use:<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><a href="http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/tx_n.html" target="_blank">http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/tx_n.html</a><br>
</div>(first line of second table) to see that MUX2 = channel 66. Then you use:<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><a href="http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/terrestrial/tuning/" target="_blank">http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/terrestrial/tuning/</a><br>
</div>to determine your frequency (ch 66) is (last column for digital channels) is 834<br>
MHz. Go to your Transport Editor within the channel editor (in mythtv-setup) to<br>
see if you are picking up a transport at that frequency.<br>
<br>
From tx_n.html it would appear that all the channels for you are bunched up at<br>
the high end of the table, and you may get a bit of spill from one channel to an<br>
adjacent one. If so, someone else may be able to tell you how to tweak your<br>
reception parameters to reduce crosstalk. I'm lucky (Hannington) that I don't<br>
(in the main) get such problems.<br>
