Since Tuesday Afternoon May 10th, my parents have no freeview signal on C22, C25, C28 & C30.
They live at ST3 3LH, with an internal aerial and signal booster.
They have had a normal signal since switching to digital several years ago.
Retuning and re-installation has not worked.
Is this loss of signal due to transmitter engineering?
If so, when can they expect their normal signal to return?

Paul Ruscoe: Yes, please see the engineering information listed above and at the top of the page.
I would retune Friday evening if the signal has not returned by then.

Hi I live in Gunnel Close ST1 3AJ about a mile from Fenton transmitter, however there is 2 blocks of flats in direct line of vision. We get varied signel strengths and we lose data, dependant on weather. One when will the signal strength be increased and two we cant get HD at all
