Central Edinburgh Freeview Half my channels lost!!
Excited about watching freeview HD on my new freeviewHD box, I retuned to watch the first HD broadcasts at midnight.
NO HD channels plus I lost half of my normal freeview channels - all main channels, and ones 'tuned' are not watchable, beyond glitchy.
This has happened on both my new freeviewHD box and internal freeview tuner in TV.
What is going on?!

Hi Dave. Don't panic! Switchover Phase 2 is in progress. Analogue channels went between midnight and quarter past. Digital shortly after. Official word is that the new high powered digital services should be up and running by 6am, although I suspect it will be sooner. Remember that you will need to do a full rescan or initial setup as most of the frequencies will be changing in the next few hours.

Dave: I would suggest going to bed. It takes a few hours to complete the necessary work on the transmitter. In the meantime, all freeview channels except the BBC channels will be off the air. Digital UK says that the work will be completed by 6am.
