Five minutes later. Just checked again tonight and it seems to be back! Why don't they put some info up if they are running on reduced power on one channel?

Paul100: The simple answer is that "they" are not "running on reduced power on one channel", mainly as that would be impossible. How digital television works | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

I live in Dover and have a Sony widescreen TV (9 months old). ITV channels and Film 4 were all working ok until last week. We no longer have Film 4 and ITV channels are all poor reception. We also have 2 small TVs that are linked to the same ariel these both have good reception on ITV channels and Film 4 works ok. Why would the Sony widescreen suddenly not work correctly - have done digital update etc... Regards Chris

Josh Welby: Isn't that a Virgin Media exclusive channel?

You would hope when Channel 4 HD starts on Freesat they might do Film4 HD too.

Previously on Freeview I received Film 4 on 15 and ITV 4 on 24. Now there is no signal for these stations. I tune in to Channels 54, 56, 61 and 62. Have these Channels Nos. changed?

Becky, I live a few miles outside calne and used to get good reception. This week we lost "filmfour" and "yesterday" (no signal). Dave, Sky3 etc have been such poor quality as unwatchable since before xmas. Tried retuning, doesn't work. My neighbours have the same problem. Obviously something has changed in this area but I don't know who to flag the problem to.

Hi Briantist, looked at the link you suggest but it just recommends checking cables etc or buying new kit. If Mendip is working then I don't understand why everyone I've spoken to with freeview in this area has suddenly stopped being able to receive certain channels? It's very unlikely to be simulataneous failure of the kit of several people in the same area on the same day in the same way. It's so frustrating not to know who to raise this problem with.
