Sony smart tv 50x85j

I’ve been trying to retune my TV to Bluebell Hill transmitter. It nearest to us, however, the retune always goes to a Crystal Palace London tx. 
region only shows kent on the menu. How can I get the tv to tune to the transmitter I need? 

we get pixelisation often on the London transmitter.   Help please.

Hi @G4czu45 

 

Are you saying that your TV Aerial is pointing towards the Bluebell Hill transmitter (or one of it’s relays) but is picking up the Crystal Palace transmitter because they are both in the same direction?

If you want to make sure your TV is tuned to the transmitter you prefer then use the Manual Tuning option in the

Settings> Channel Set Up> Digital Set Up> Digital Tuning> Digital Manual Tuning. (maybe slightly different path on other different Sony).

First get a list of the Channel/ multiplex (mux) numbers broadcast from your preferred transmitter.

Click here,

https://www.freeview.co.uk/corporate/detailed-transmitter-information

Enter your postcode and house number, press check.

You will now see a the list of transmitters that broadcast to your area, strongest first.

Look at the table for your preferred transmitter.

Each channel/ mux number is under the letter N.

 

Go to Digital Manual Tuning as described above.

Scan Type should be at Channel.

Select Channel Number and then input a mux number from the transmitter table.

The Signal Level and Signal Quality meters should populate.

Press Scan Up.

The TV will now search for all available channels/ broadcasts on that particular mux.

When completed you will see a list of the channels found on that mux, click on one

and you will be asked if you want to store all found channels, press Yes.

when asked if you want to continue scanning press No.

The screen returns to the Digital Manual Tuning page.

Select another mux number and follow the procedure again,

do this for all muxes broadcast from your preferred transmitter.
