I'll add my name to the list of people unable to pick up channel 67, but it was always a matter of luck and weather as to whether I could pick them up on their old channel. Who knows, when it stops tipping it down they might come back :)

We are in Yatton and also cannot get channel 67, have done every type of retune, including manual which states the service cannot be found. Do we have to wait until September for channel 67, will we definately be able to pick it up then?

Pete Green: If you are using Freesat or Sky, it is because there are only limited ITV1+1 regions - see ITV1+1 11 January 2011 (at last) | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

I am in Chippenham using Freeview and get the welsh news on ITV1+1. What a lash up!! If a region doesn't broadcast its local news on ITV1+1 why bother at all?

I'm in central Swindon and C57 is barely usable on the PVR and not receivable on the DTV. Before the change for ITV1+1, even the low power MUX's were perfectly watchable.

Why the hell has this change been made - from having no problems with any channels I also now have no Film 4 etc. This is absolutely unacceptable - please raise the power levels on Ch 67 NOW.
