Thanks mike.. itv news didn't mention anything about analogue itv moving, from the information on this site it looked as though it was going along with bbc 2 given bbca takes its slot. (Until of course analogue completely goes).

Looks like the problem was not the trees but the transmitter changes as I have retuned this morning and now have 100 channels.
Many thanks for your help.

I Have Been Retuning My Box Since 8 oclock August 17th and have no BBC 1 or 2 no BBC News. I'm on Waltham tx Aerial - digital. I Still get bbc 1 and 2 on terrestial. I think the engineers must be having further problems with the digital switchover.

I retuned my TVs and Recorder this morning (17th Aug). I now get Look North on the Sony TV, East Midlands on the Recorder connected to the Sony TV and East Midlands on the Panasonic TV. All connected to the same aerial. The ariel is located on the roof of my neighbours property. (a high Water Tower). I live very close to the Waltham transmitter,

phillip wigley: You *MUST* perform a "first time installation", or do this My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice on your equipment.

I've now manually retuned the Sony TV to the East Midlands. However, when I auto retune it goes to Look North. How can I stop this happening every time I need to retune? The recorder and the Panasonic Tv have no problem in tuning to East Midlands?
