P.Davis: The interference is coming from distant transmitters which broadcast on the same frequency. Retuning certainly will not stop it happening and nor is your new TV likely to be any better. There is no conspiracy or ploy to push people into subscribing to Sky or Virgin, it is simply down to the current weather conditions causing a phenomenon called tropospheric ducting, which has been understood by scientists and broadcast engineers for decades. There is no technological solution, it is simply a case of waiting for the weather conditions to change which will cause the tropo to end and with it the interference from distant transmitters will disappear.

Anna:
As indicated in the post before yours, recent weather conditions have been disrupting reception at various times in many areas across the UK.
They have been causing Tropospheric Ducting affecting much of the south coast and southern parts of the country on last Saturday and extending into the Midlands and North of the country through Sunday including East Anglia, then affecting all Wales and England. These conditions have been unusually quite extreme on occasion recently.
This causes interfering signals from distant transmitters in Europe or the UK to affect reception of your wanted signals. This can periodically last, seconds, minutes and sometimes much longer.
Do NOT Retune. (If you'd been correctly tuned I cannot understand why people think retuning will help when the set says no signal, it's not going to get a signal that's not there!).
There is nothing you can do about this situation apart from wait for conditions to change, or use online streaming if available.
IF you did retune, usually you'd be best manually retuning the UHF channels for your transmitter, as detailed in the top section of the relevant transmitter page.
As the conditions have substantially subsided, an automatic retune may restore all your channels.
However, the conditions may still come and go albeit not as severe as previously and you may have to resort to manual tuning. Go into your TV's tuning section and look for the Manual tuning option.
Then tune each of Hannington's UHF channels which are C39, C40, C42, C43, C45 & C46.
(C means channel, if you hover over those it will give the frequency should you need them).
If you are in a weaker signal area, such conditions won't help, but as you haven't given a full postcode I can't check that.

Why is ArqB channel 46 giving problems with signal strength only about 5-10 Percent?

Lance Spencer :
As per the post just before yours, the transmitter is subject to Planned Engineering, the multiplex may be on reduced power or the Reserve Antenna.
You may already be in a poorer reception area for ArqB but as you haven't given a full postcode we can't check your predicted reception.
In addition to which there's been a little bit of "Tropospheric Ducting" affecting parts of the S/SE caused by current weather pressure systems which can result in interference from other transmitters in Europe or the UK, but that should clear quite quickly. Do NOT retune!
Another possibility is interference from a recent new/upgraded mobile phone mast. Have you had a postcard from https://restoretv.uk/post…ure/

Is there something up with hannington hd channels today they are all no signal for me

John Raw:
As you may have noticed from the post before yours, Hannington is listed for Planned Engineering, so reduced power or brief interruptions to service may occur. Do NOT retune.
No specific faults have been reported.
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't check your predicted reception to see if you're in a poor signal area or something specifically that gives poor reception of the HD multiplex, or even interference problems maybe from a new/upgraded mobile phone mast near you.
Having said that,, there seems to be work going on at several mian transmitters that's been affecting the HD multiplex judging by reports we've seen.
Unfortunaely Arqiva don't give details of the work taking place or how long it may last.
