MikeP: Thanks for the reply. I have an aerial pointed at the Nottingham transmitter too, but as you are probably aware, it doesn't broadcast the full range of HD and additional channels (exactly those I was having problems with from SC in fact). Geography prevents me from accessing Waltham, though I have tried! Had I not had many months of trouble free viewing, up until this week, I wouldn't have made the query. Hopefully it's a relatively isolated problem. I couldn't check yesterday afternoon, but so far today all is well.

Thanks Mike,
My postcode is NG5 2HA. By the way, the coverage map isn't showing any coloured areas at the moment, at least on my iPad. I'm sure I've referred to it previously on this same tablet.

Thanks Mike,
I've tried the coverage map on a Windows machine too and that doesn't show any coloured areas either at the moment, whether zoomed in or out, just a grey map.
I think Waltham is blocked by the higher ground of Mapperley Park, though I did try for a signal without success when I was fitting the aerial.
Everything has been fine the last couple of days, as it was for months previously, so I'm hoping whatever was causing the problem has resolved itself. The signal is strong enough from the Nottingham transmitter for me to pick up BBC 1 and ITV East Midlands on the aerial pointing at SC, so they appear in the 800's when I want local news.
Thanks again for your time, much appreciated.

Please update the frequencies for Com 7 and 8 on the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. Just spent ages wondering why I wasn't picking up channels. The new frequencies are 746 and 754 MHz (C55 and C56). Thanks for all your efforts.

Sutton Coldfield channels on C33 and C35 have disappeared for the last two afternoons between 12 and 6pm approximately. I'm in Nottingham, but normally have a strong signal with quality hovering around 100% (according to the Humax tuner) at other times of the day. Are they doing any work on the transmitter or could it be something else? Thanks for any suggestions.
