I was unable to get Sky News after re-tuning our tvs. However, after removing and checking all the coax connections, re-tuned and have now got Sky News.

As of the resent retune we have been unable to get any of MUX C, we have tried countless retunes etc to no avail. we have a Sony Bravia, could it be a TV problem, transmitter problem or due to engineering works.
Regards
Jay

No signal for either digital or analogue.
Previous day factory reset worked without a problem but there has been no signal for the past 30 minutes.

wedge: There is no problms reported at Tacolneston by the live BBC system, but if it was 8am exactly then this might be part of the "TV (digital) Liable to interruption".
