22nd March 2012 and I appear to have lost a massive chunk of channels - the BBC channels all vanished, however SKY news etc were OK. Retuned and now all the SKY has gone but I have BBC back and only 41 channels (previously 100+). (51.4816,-1.6213)

Mr Smith: You are in an area served by the Aldbourne relay transmitter. Now switchover has happened, this is only does not carry the full range of Freeview channels; it is a Public Service transmitter only. You received full Freeview before switchover, so you must have been getting it from Hannington.
The first thing to do is ensure that your receiver(s) doesn't choose to use the signals from Aldbourne. They use low channels and Hannington uses ones higher up, so as a matter of course, it is a good idea to have the aerial lead unplugged for the first 20% of the automatic tuning scan to avoid picking up Aldbourne.
The Commercial multiplexes will be on low power from Hannington for a few weeks more.
On 4th April, ArqA on C44 (carries Pick TV etc) will switch to its full final power. Two weeks later on 18th April, SDN on C41 (carries ITV3 etc) and ArqB on C47 (carries Yesterday etc) will go to full power.

As the Guilford transmitter should have stopped transmitting on C41 at 6AM this morning, can anyone confirm that C41 from Hannington is now at full power?

In fleet we have received the new channels (hannington transmitter). However the signal is continually breaking up. Before today we did not receive any of the channels, so turning on of that mux at Hannington has worked but I hope that it is going to be turned up at some point.
The BBC mux is almost perfect, doesnt break up anywhere near as much
