Dee: You will get better services, but from Sutton Coldfield in two weeks time, with all services from Sutton Coldfield being at full power from November 2011.
The signals from Waltham are now at their final power levels.

I retuned after switchover and received channel 23 and Channel 26 with no problem from the Little Eaton transmitter. On Monday all the Channel 23 stations (BBC and BBC radio) were lost. Have been unable to get them back since via automatic or manual tune.
Another TV in the house fed off a boosted (digital compatible) aerial splitter is still tuned in fine. Any ideas ?

All:
There is a retune event on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air overnight and the multiplexes PSB3 is slightly changing frequency. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours and may not be back on air until late morning or early afternoon.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; C23, C26, C30;
People will need to retune and a Group A aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of the multiplexes.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).
