I'm having trouble getting my Topfield to see the channels correctly since the digital switchover in my area (Cheshire). I get BBC1 on 1012, for example. MyStuff is complaining "Duplicate Channels Detected".

I have upgraded to the toppy.org.uk recommended firmware for MyStuff, and I've rescanned. I even tried something recommended by a few people, taking the aerial out until 50% of the way through the scan. All to no avail.

Can anyone tell me what I should do to get my channels correct?

Thanks,
Paul

You need to do a manual tune to the 5 muxes from your transmitter, which judging by your location, is probably Winter Hill. If this is correct, you need to tune to the following 5 rf frequencies,

55, 58, 59, 61, & 62

You can use a tap to make this easier, I use FastScanGUI v0.6b, which can be found here,

You can also use Channel Organiser A2, which can be found here,

Thanks for the suggestion - looks like I've found an easier way, I did a factory reset and rescan and that seems to have fixed it.

Yes - if things have changed frequency, it's best to do a reset, or at least delete the current channels, as a scan is additive on the Toppy - it doesn't delete channels on its own.
