Robin Heath: There's no fault showing for the Pendle Forest transmitter, but it has been listed for planned engineering work for the last few weeks, which are due to continue this week.

Robin Heath:
One assumes that you were correctly tuned before you had no signal. You should not have done a "channel search" or "Retune" when you have no signal. You cannot tune to signals that aren't there or can't be decoded. The usual result is to clear your correct tuning and then you will receive nothing when signals return.
IF you did retune, you will have to do so again until your channels are returned.
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't check your predicted reception and possibly make suggestions that may improve your situation when there is Planned Engineering if that is causing the current problem.
