HD channels starting at 822

HD channels starting at 822 And not 101

why is this and can you re assign?

800 are usually duplicate channels of those assigned to the 100 range.

The weather is playing havoc with signals at the moment so it may be that this is affecting your usual transmitter but not those duplicates.

It's not possible to reasign channels on TalkTalk boxes, these are fixed by Freeview.

You could try a retune, but be aware that if it's weather related you could lose more rather than restore those missing ones.

Try taking the aerial out and retuning first though as this clears the box memory, then retune with the aerial back in the box.

Hope this helps.

Thank you I’ll try this , didn’t realise weather plays a big part in reception with this box

With freeview signals received via the aerial, weather, and the recent storms have affected channel reception and transmitters in some areas.

Thanks
