For the first time in several years, since I've had freeview in fact, Film4 has disappeared. Appears fine on the EPG, but says 'tuning to new channel' & eventually no signal. This is after the latest retune - for the past week or so I've been getting misleading & annoying messages about retuning. When my channels finally disappeared I retuned & recovered all my channels except Film4 & Yesterday.

I thought the latest update was to improve the service. It is now worse than it's ever been.

Could somebody please explain what is going on?

After several days of messages I finally got bad pixallation on ITV, Ch4 & 5 (possibly others), so I retuned & got them back - but shifted to the 800 channel no. region.
Finally BBC1 disappeared, so I retuned & everything came back fine & in the right place.

Yesterday, as described above I lost ITV4, Film4 etc. (although on the EPG). After carrying out the retune routine above, ITV4 etc. disappeared off my EPG.

I woke up this morning to find they had reappeared on my EPG - but still unavailable. I retuned & got (allegedly) 25 new channels, but still none of the above, although once again on the EPG.

Nothing about my system has changed. From my perspective, the latest transmitter rejig looks like an almighty cock-up.

This is getting beyond a joke. Every time there is a large high pressure system over the near continent I lose reception. It happened in the summer & it's happening again now - no signal on 95% channels, the rest drift in & out.

Freeview is beginning to look like a bad joke. Is there nothing I can do, or do I just have to wait?
