Mark Winfield: Looking at the spec, this set has a input but does not have . Thus, if you have it connected to a , all you will see is because that is all that is transmitted.

FRANK HADFIELD: BBC Spotlight is broadcast from transmitters in the southwest of England, it is not broadcast from transmitters in the Midlands. You would need to use / or iPlayer to watch news from another .

BBC1 and 2, CBS Justice and a number of other suddenly overnight are poor . Fortunately, I can still get BBC HD quite clearly. This site is saying there is nothing wrong with the and that I should check my etc. As I have had this problem in the past on odd occasions and they have eventually resolved themselves I do not believe it is my aerial and don't want to pay out a lot of money to get things checked. Has the signal strength on some wavelengths from Hannington been reduced? Posted 16/12/2020

Teresa:

don't have the listed for any Planned and they haven't listed a reported fault that I can find. BBC reports that might appear on this site may be delayed or not even appear due to the current covid-19 situation. Transmission on lower is a possibility if there's a fault.

Have you made any changes to your set-up recently? How old is the installation?

The checks suggested on this site are primarily the simple ones that you could do fairly easily yourself - check that your aerial seems intact (no obvious missing bits when you look up at it) and pointing in the correct direction and not rocking about in the wind. Also that your downlead looks undamaged (especially if it is old), is it securely fixed or flapping around in the wind?
Also check all your coax plugs, connections, flyleads etc, unplug connectors check for corrosion or other problems and reconnect them. Flyleads are a common problem, try swapping/changing them. See what strengths and you are getting for the multiplexes (groups of ) shown in your TV's tuning section - are they similar levels and are they what you normally expect?

Problematic connections, water ingress etc. can seem to affect of just an individual or several multiplexes.

If the issues have not cleared up in the next 24 hours, post back on the Hannington page with a full postcode so that we can look at your predicted reception and see if there are any reported faults specific to your locale.

Valerie bradley : W is not a channel, it is delivered over your broadband connection as part of your BT TV , so you need to contact BT technical support. Drama is a Freeview which is received via your and would therefore be available regardless of whether you had a BT subscription or not.

SportyStuffTV is called "22631" at the moment as it is yet to launch on BSkyB.

There is no Freesat EPG for SportyStuffTV yet but there is BSkyB EPG.

Mostly, it is running the same sequence of events repeatedly:

22631 Mon 11 Jan 16:00 - 16:30 : Mobil 1 - The Grid

SportyStuffTV is unusual for an AVC HD service as not only is it on a DVB-S but it is statistically multiplexed with MPEG SD - something I've not seen at 28 degrees East before.
