Hi Ron, Can't help with your situation but I have been having the same problem with those same channels (everything on ch 36). I am in Ashburton and the problem started 4 days ago for me (20th Aug)on both my UHF devices. I replaced my 20 year old aerial with a new one on Monday but no better. Tonight all the channels are working again ???!!!
Cheers Robin

Hi Robin, my problem with ch. 36 reception went away when i power down and up my panasonic PVR, also i redirected my uhf aerial for best signal quality, also added a amp. to split the aerial feed between pvr and tv. i spoke to a local aerial installer who thought it could be new cell phone towers and smart power meters. as i point my aerial across town to the transmitter this made sense. reception has been good for the last 5 days, so my best guess is the pvr went bad, and needed a reboot to stop it interfering with reception.

cheers ron

Panasonic DVB-T tuner PVR has an amp in the antenna passthrough circuit that is switched off in standby by default. There is a setting to keep it turned on. Using splitter to each device is a better idea anyway.
