Hello Team
All of a sudden DTV Freeview has vanished. I have run the auto search several times now and no UHF channels are found.
I have checked all my connections and set to Aerial.
Has the Freeview service been cancelled now.
I receive from the Findon transmitter.
Please advise.
Kind regards
Harry

Harry Hughes: There are currently no reported faults or engineering work at Findon and there has been no announcement of any transmitters closing. Retuning was the worst thing to do as you have now deleted all of your channels which were previously correctly tuned, making it much more difficult to work out what is causing the loss of signal. You'll have to keep retuning periodically to see if the signal has returned (it's possible there is a recent fault which hasn't shown up yet) or some sort of local electrical interference. If the signal doesn't return this evening or tomorrow then it would be time to start investigating further.
