I live in HP21 area and the Mux A channels have been unwatchable for the last few days. I'm not going to re-tune or do anything until the switchover has finished. Just thought I'd post this so others can see they are not alone in losing channels at the moment.

andrzej: Indoor aerials are poor for Freeview reception, and in an ideal world you should switch to using a rooftop aerial.
However, as switchover on the Oxford transmitter starts on Wednesday, you might want to wait.
For general advice, see Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice please.
