No MUX 2 - and no reason!

I've just realised that I can't get any MUX 2 channels on freeview.

I get a good signal quality and strength on the other MUXs and I have friends who get the MUX 2 channels no problem.

I am at LR TQ300074 and using the whitehawk transmitter I think. I've checked out the Megalithia terrain and it looks pretty good. So where is my channel 4? I use a communal boosted arial in a block of flats so I can't pop up to adjust it.

Any ideas what's happening? I've re tuned to zero channels with the aerial out then back again with the aerial and I get 49 TV 25 radio each time. All are very good quality and perfectly stable.

I use a Topfiled PVR if that's any help.

Cheers
Stewart

Try checking this www.bbc.co.uk/reception/transmitters
can you do a manual tune? mux2 transmits on chan 50 from whitehawk hill.

Thanks I think it's not there because that's a list of the transmitters that are undergoing work. I think it's an alignment problem.

Could well be, but the power stats wouldn't fill me with confidence.

when you read the comments further down there seems to have been a problem with mux 2 from the start.
