Yes, this works perfectly. Lots of lovely clear channels.

Thanks for that. I compared it to mine and the only difference was the
VBI settings. I disabled mine and tried again. No joy :-(

I also tried completely deleting the database and starting from scratch.
And the same problem came back. :-((

Looks like that's where I'm at, and I've also run out of ideas. Maybe
you could send me your channel table and I'll replace mine with it and
see if I still get the error?

Thanks for your help so far,
