Hi I'm from clacton co153jb have lost film 4, yesterday, dave etc from our channels since the retune, have tried the factory reset but have had no luck getting them back, it really rather frustrating as we were recieving all channels ok before the retune and even went out and got a new digital Ariel installed last year at the cost of £150 and this was recieving all these fine before, there seems to be a few other people with the same problem round this area also, are the providers aware of the problem round this area regarding some people's channels after the retune? What do they intend on doing about it?

Mick: well it has to be said that DRG's trade view predictor doesn't show a very promising picture of things getting better as far as the channels containing the programmes you mention are concerned, as they are presently indicating poor and only go into the status of being variable at the end of June next year, remaining that way during 2014.

If you were previously receiving them you "might" get them back by fitting an aerial amplifier in line with your TV, the amplifier being rated about 15db or so, although by doing this you could experience a problem from your local (@ 1 mile) Clacton transmitter by causing a signal overload situation in your TV's tuner.

Its really a hit and miss situation with an outcome that can only be determined by you carrying out a few tests using an amplifier of the type suggested, as although next June your reception possibilities of these channels rises slightly in status, its still only to a variable level, which in my opinion isn't by any means a guarantee of glitch free reception.
