Hi guys
I brought a DTI6300-16 from Tesco 79.97 last week but after spending 5 days and a new box later I still only pickup 66 channels. (Upgraded to v2.91 over air) It appears to pick up 6 mux's when tunning and 88 chan's but in the tunning menu the are only 4 listed missing 32 and 34 (Mux D and 1). So no BBC1,2,3 and Film4 etc.

I have tried it at several houses and all were the same. I told my son about it as he has the same box and he unfortunately re-tuned and now also has 66 chans.
I heard the Sutton mast has just been upgraded to 8K and this has also caused my old Echostar to go haywire after I re-tuned that in (as part of problem solving the 6300).
Anyway I took the 6300 to my brothers who lives nr Manchester and it tuned perfectly into Winter hill without a problem. So its a Sutton Coldfield problem.

So advance warning don't re-tune in the Sutton area unless you can afford the risk of loosing 22 channels.

As a footnote my Digifusion FVRT200 and Goodmans GD83 both tune in and work perfectly on Sutton Coldfield.

There's been serious issues regarding Sutton Coldfield and certain boxes lately.

I agree, but there should be no Issues with 2007-2008 boxes even the Tech Info on the Thompson DTI6300 shows it to be 8K compatable.

I know my old boxes won't work. By the way how many of the GPublic know this or is it a case of my old box failed because its old so Ill get a new one!

Thanks to fudge at least I know now that its not the Sutton mast but my local one at fenton (Sutton Repeater).

Fenton covers such a small area not many people with Thompson DTI6300 have re-tuned in the past couple of weeks.
I can confirm that the set Picks up 6 mux's but only shows 4 in the tunning page. Freq 32 and 34 (Mux D and 1) are missing.
strangely I can manually tune to them and get 7-8 strength on signal and quality.
My friend gets 8-9 but he lives 0.75 mile from the mast and is in direct line of site (nothing but Air). Still has the same problem with the Thompson box though!

Good news he has a Wharfedale WDTR160 that works perfectly at his house and mine so the Thompson might be going back for a swap out.

Guys
