Hello. I have completely lost Freeview ITV reception today. BBC is fine - no different from normal. Is there a problem, please? We have noticed that ITV Freeview has been very weak for the last few weeks, but today it is non-existent, and my TV cannot detect it or the other channels in that group at all.
My postcode is BH22 9AZ, external roof aerial.
