TV off air material management

Starting point here is just what channels can I get, and that does vary based on which TV I am using and the ET8500 PVR setup. The LG TV can handle all the channels while the smaller Technika TV is SD only. The ET8500 can quite happily record HD programs but there have been some problems getting it to set up SD channels which is another thing I've been wasting time on. The Lark Stoke transmitter is not far away so the signal strength is excellent, but recent updates have been using the wrong channel group an so not displaying any TV. Something I need to document separately. I did think I had a problem with the LG TV, but it was just me trying to find BBC News on 132 instead of 231. Did not twig that I should be below the children's TV channels on 200+ but that at least is working fine.
