    Thats more than likely the problem with the freq , the signal is not strong enough , you could try connect it up to the main feed and do the manual scan on 402000 and see if it picks up the channels your missing then bring it back up to the bedroom and see if the channels work

    If not then you will need a signal booster to improve the signal sorry

    As your feed is in the bedroom do as Celt said and put a booster onto where you have the cable split to strengthen your signal going to your bedroom.

    You can get fairly cheap ones in Maplins, just ask for a digital tv rf booster.

    You can if you like as this does improve the signal strenght somewhat, but your problem may be the internal line coming from the main feed to your bedroom, it is more than likely an attenuation problem.

    You can only watch the station that is recording as both box types only have a single tuner. You would need a PVR box which has dual tuners to achieve this.
