I lost com 7 yesterday too. I haven't found any changes listed anywhere so it's a bit of a puzzle. I don't think it's aerial or amplifier related as both have been working fine all the way back to when Winter Hill required wideband aerials and amplifiers.

Looking directly for CH55 in the manual tune menu shows no signal at all.

To clarify, all my other channels are fine. COM7 was working fine on Thursday. I live in Chester....so quite a long way from Winter Hill.

Just noticed that Model y Parc.....the physically nearest transmitted to Chester is also transmitting COM7 on CH55. I wonder if they've changed the radiation pattern of Winter Hill to avoid interference? If that is the case, my best hope for getting the channels back is to wait for another retune event and keep my fingers crossed.

Sorry Chris, didn't see.your comment before posting. I hadn't realised that COM7 was on the same channel across the UK. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it clears itself up in the next couple of days.

Thanks
