Like Del the Freeview "service", particularly on ITV etc has been poor for a long, long time. Today, no freeview watchable on any channel, even BBC 1 which is usually fine. Hopefully just another "teething" problem before switchover and full power transmission that will, hopefully, lead to a completely watcheable freeview service.

MH: Yes, the whole point of digital switchover is to get rid of the high power analogue system and replace it with a high power digital one. The low power systembefore was a compromise.
However, if you have specifc problems today you might just want to check the Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.

Additional info following previous post. Having following the freeview reset procedure, no freeview channels at all detected, Analogue channels all have thick white band moving dowe the screen. Would assume that there must be some problem with transmitter/work going on as analogue was ok earlier today! Oh well, looks like the radio rather than TV for a while......
