To force a search you press DTV, then menu and do it from there.
Interesting. I suppose every TV is different.

I have a button on my remote which toggles between the terrestrial channels and the Freeview DTV channels.

When I am in DTV mode I press my menu button which "amazingly" brings up the menu from which I can access the channel search.

From what you say, it does look as if your transmitter could be a relay station which is only relaying basic channels. Channel 5 is usually the missing channel. On Winter Hill its transmission strength is the lowest.

BTW, what TV model do you have if you don't mind me asking?
