I recieve my transmission from the Sudbury transmitter and in the last few days went fully digital. Previously when we still had an analogue signal we coule recieve BBC 1,2,3,4, no ITV (exept4) no C4 and no five, but crucially we could get DAVE, now with no analogue signal I retuned and we now get all the BBC's, the ITV's C4 and various Five's but Dave (and Dave Ja Vu) have gone!...help is there any way they'll be back?

Bob: It is hard to be specific without a postcode, but "Arqiva A will remain on its preswitchover channel (54) from switchover until mid-2012". See Freeview on Sudbury TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

You won't get Dave Ja Vu, this is being replaced next week with Really. Really to replace Dave Ja Vu on Freeview | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Area Chelmsford Essex - I receive my programmes from the Sudbury transmitter - pre retune I received Dave perfectly - since retune it wasn't always there - after numerous retunes it came back, or at least was listed on the on screen guide with sporadic reception. Have retuned yet again but it has disappeared - how can I get one of my favourite channels back PLEASE!!!
