ITVHD channel 50 nor 51 being received now was OK previously nor 4HD on 52.
Aerial on roof and previously OK, tried retuning to no avail. All BBC channels OK??
Could the Norden transmitter have gone funny?

Arthur : There has not been a problem reported with the transmitter - can you please see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ?

Arthur: I see that you appear to be in area where most aerials are on Winter Hill (I looked at Google Streetview). I did spot one aerial on the Norden relay transmitter.
I suggest that the problem you might have is that your TV/box might have tuned to the signal from the other transmitter. That is, if your aerial is on Norden that it might be tuned to Winter Hill or vice versa.
If you are on Norden, then you won't get many of the commercial channels, or if you do then you won't be picking them up from Norden, and therefore your aerial is pointing in the wrong direction (and polarity) and so reception could be touch and go.
