My digital reception in Henley in Arden has been deteriorating over the past few months. I've completely lost some channels such as Film 4. Now ITV and Channel 4, amongst others, are pretty hopeless.
A year ago all was fine.
I keep retuning to no avail.
Why's the service so rubbish? What's going on?

I have lost a lot of channels recently on my freeview television. My aerial is on the roof. Why is this and what shall I do ? I thought swithover wasn't until September regarding retuning.

Lynn Gittins (Mrs): As you say switchover is not until September. Could you be more specific about which channels are missing? According to the Digital UK postcode checker you are expected to have poor reception on MuxD due to co-channel interference from Winter Hill. However the other muxes are shown as having good reception at your location. Check that all your cables and connectors are in good condition.
