New Pvr9200ts User - Bbc Channels Poor Quality

[MAGICWAND]

I have just purchased a PVR9200TS and found that I cannot receive BBC channels very well. ITV and channel 4 & 5 are good as well as the rest of freeview channels.

I have an Echostar T-101 FTA Digital Television Receiver, which I tried with the same aerial setup and all the freeview channels (including BBC channels) work fine with not signal interference.

Looking at the Signal detection of BBC1 it is should as the following:

CH 30 (546000kHz 2k 1/32)

Belmont BBC

Strength: 20%

Quality: between 40% and 50%

Can anyone help to improve this situation?

Can you give us your post code (so that we can check what the various predictor sites say about reception at your location)?

Also can you confirm if you have a digital aerial and how old is cabling etc....

Also check that you have tuned to the right transmitter. BBC4 had gone bad on mine and I discovered it had picked up Wenvoe rather than Ridge Hill.

I second the cable/aerial being an issue possibly.

I had a new aerial and cabling fitted before installation. Tried it out on the Echostar then purchased a Humax.
If it possible to re-tune BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 to a different transmitter? I noticed that BBC4 is good and is on the Waltham transmitter, where BBC1,BBC2&BBC3 use the Belmont transmitter.

Wolfbane predictor (http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?DX=L&HT=10&OS=PE6+9NN) suggests Waltham might be the better choice but it will depend on where your aerial is pointing etc. As aldaweb says try the manual tuning FAQ,
