Tacolneston (East Anglia) transmitter Freeview retune
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV If you live in East Anglia and use Freeview from the Tacolneston transmitter, you will need to perform a retune on Wednesday 17th August 2011.
At around midnight, multiplex B (BBC Four, CBeebies, BBC Parliament, 303, BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 4 Extra, BBC Asian Network, and BBC World Service) moves from C58 moves to C66, and Multiplex C (PICK TV, Dave, Really, E4+1, Big Deal, Create and Craft, Price Drop TV, Gems TV 1, PICK TV +1, Daystar TV, Food Network and Sky News) from C61 to C68.
From 6am Wednesday 17 August 2011, you must to a perform a "first time installation" retune (sometimes "Factory Reset" or "Shipping Condition") on your Freeview box or television set
This is NOT the digital switchover for Tacolneston - that starts on Wednesday 9th November 2011 and completes on Wednesday 23rd November 2011.
These changes are required to protect the BBC multiplexes on the Waltham transmitter.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Hi... I followed the factory restore message on my screen last night. Previously Freeview had worked perfectly... Now all of my Freeview channels are blocky, scrambled, or just a blue screen. I've re-tuned via factory restare again, but still the same problem. My analogue channels are now better than the digital channels! What's happened..? My post code is NR3 4AB. I have sky in my living room which is fine... the problem is with Freeview in my bedroom. About a month ago, I have something fitted to my roof aerial, which runs off the mains in my dining room, which feeds the signal into my dining room and bedrooms. Done by a very reputable company. And has worked very well up until the re-tune last night. Please help!!!

emma: I think the "problems" are all related to the overnight switch of channels yesterday, I don't think there are any ongoing problems with transmission now.
