On doing my service search when setting up my 7100 I am only getting the ABC and SBS channels. Previously on my 5000Pvrt I had no reception problems. I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, 7km from the city as the crow flies (Canterbury).
Why would I not get the commercial channels? Any ideas? I don't want to spend money on improving my reception when my older machine had no problems.

| I had a 5000 masterpiece for two years with no problems, but when I got a 7100 I had to replace a passive splitter in my roof with an active distribution amp (<$100 from Dick smith for the one I got - they let you return it in 14 days if it doesn't help). For whatever reason, the 7000 is much more sensitive to getting a good signal. As a side effect I now have near faultless analogue as well until they turn that off.

Thanks: I've got away with just replacing the antenna cable ATM, so I'll see how I go
