Now TV Smart Box - Freeview channels missing

I set up my box today and noticed in the Freeview section that BBC 1 and 2 are missing - the channels start with ITV. Scrolling through, I found BBC 1 HD and BBC 2 HD located after the Horror channel. 

 

Ideally I'd like to have BBC 1 and 2 at the top of the EPG. Better still I'd like my regional BBC 1 and BBC 2 HD at the top of the EPG. 

 

I can't see my local station or the non-HD versions listed anywhere in the channels found.

 

This box is replacing a BT YouView box which picked up the above missing channels.

 

Any ideas please?

It's just a simple 2 way coax splitter actually, but splitting the input signal weakens it enough such that the smart box seems to ignore the "rogue" multiplexes.

Hi all,

 

There was a software update earlier this week that should help with the Freeview Signal dropping out.

 

Thanks

@dr_necessitor your solution worked a treat. No more 'drifting' to the weaker channels.
Thanks again.
