Garry Stephen: Me and Chris.SE already explained in reply to your comment on the Durris page, it's down to the Peterhead transmitter only covering a relatively small population so it isn't viable for the commercial broadcasters who would have to pay for it.

Katrina marshall:

Apologies, we seem to have missed your post earlier in the week, probablyu due to a mountain of spam that's been appearing on this website.

Although your are in the "Peterhead" area and posted on the Peterhead transmitter page, you aren't predicted to get this transmitter down there in Cruden Bay, but you should be getting the Durris main transmitter. This is currently listed for Planned Engineering, so occasional loss of signal may occur. Do NOT 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.

If you did retune and still have no signal, you'll need to repeat that when signals are normal and you may have to try several times.

If you are still having problems, post back. Check that your aerial looks intact and is still pointing correctly, it should be fractionally S of SW (compass bearing 214 degrees) with its rods (or squashed Xs) horizontal.
If not, tell us in more detail which way it points and what channels you are still having problems with.
