We have NO signal and haven't had on and off for 4 days now, so there is a problem with your signal and not with our equipment!
I am one of many in this area with no tv, not much fun when you live on your own.
Blue screen, pixiallting, weather conditions are calm.
Please help !!!

HD channels suddenly disappeared a week ago without any changes or updates being made ? Always worked fine and had a strong signal for these channels (BBC 1 HD, ITV 1 HD etc). Live in Cheltenham and using Youview Humax Box, receiving from horizontal roof mounted aerial pointing to Ridge Hill Transmitter. Always received BBC Midlands Today and ITV Central News, which hasn't changed, but noticed from reading on here that we should be receiving BBC Midlands Today and ITV West ? Any ideas ?

Phil: ITV West might be in the 800s of the channel list, as the other services on PSB2 are stored along with Central (West Mids) in the LCN positions of the epg. Regarding the HD channels, these should be on UHF C22 from Ridge Hill. If they have been stored on an alternative frequency from a different transmitter the signal strength could have now dipped below the level required for reliable reception. Alternatively there could be interference affecting C22, or the signal might even be too strong, giving the same results as one which is too weak.

Thanks KMJ, your tip regarding inteference got me thinking and was the key. I bought a double screened coax aerial cable AND 4G filter from Maplins (£19.98) which did the trick. Now receive all channels, with quality signal and no inteference. Thanks again.
