KJM - Thanks for that info that you provided. I've now fixed (improved) the issue. I have a masthead amplifier and in order to get the Mux1 channels (BBC1, BBC2, etc.) back, I had to turn down the power on the amplifier (luckily it's a variable amplifier). I turned it down as much as possible and it's much improved. I actually think that I need to remove the amplifier completely to get the best signal. I've noticed some other people on here also experiencing loss of channels in the Reigate / Redhill area so maybe they have the same issue and need to reduce the strength of the signal they are receiving.

Live in Crawley on Reigate transmitter. Have 4 sets, 3are fine but the Philips 19" flat screen will tune ok but the BBC 1,2 and news will not store; all other chanels store ok. After scanning all stations are fine, but the BBC stations are lost when the set is switched off and re switched on. Please can you help.All was fine before the change over.

Ray Buck: This problem usually comes about because the device does not have spare memory for some channels. There is usually a workaround because the device is likely to be picking up and storing channels from other transmitters (that in practice you probably don't watch). It's a bit like children eating sweets and then not having room for tea.
Examination of the frequencies used by Reigate shows that the new BBC channels use C60 which is at the high end. Indeed, Yesterday etc is even higher, so I wouldn't be surprised if that behaves the same. The automatic tuning scan goes from low frequency to high.
The workaround is to prevent the device from picking up those other signals that waste its memory. If manual tuning is available, then wiping the memory and manually tuning should work.
In some cases you can unplug the aerial lead during part of the scan to avoid picking up some signals. However, I'm not entirely sure how likely this might be effective here as interleaved with Reigate channels are those of Crystal Palace and possibly Midhurst.
The automatic tuning scan goes from channels 21 to 69.
My advice would be to run the automatic tuning scan and pick up ITV1, C4 etc on C21 and then unplug the aerial.
Then manually add C60 (BBC), C24 (ITV3 etc), C39 (Pick TV) and C66 (Yesterday etc).
Come 18th April, do the same. This time C21 (the first channel it will pick up) will be ITV3 etc. Then add C60 (BBC), C57 (ITV1, C4 etc), C24 (Pick TV etc) and C27 (Yesterday etc).

Ray Buck: To clarify my first paragraph, what happens is the scan progresses and stores the channels as it finds them. This includes channels from transmitters other than the one you want. Then it gets to the channel(s) used by the transmitter you want by which time there isn't any memory and, evidently, these Philips receivers don't have any "intelligence" to disguard those channels you don't want in order to store some of those that you do.
