Thanks for the replies-- To be frank, most of my neighbours don't speak English well enough to understand me, and everyone else I know has Satellite or cable... The problem is that it happened on Friday evening, meaning there's no one I can contact. What's especially distressing is that even unplugged from the communal aerial, and trying to use an indoor one, still I get Nothing... When I first hooked up the TV in September, even before getting a signal booster and hooking it up to the communal antenna, I at least got a few channels with poor reception-- now there's literally nothing. This situation is challenging my understanding of the universe.

Joseph K: When you mention that you unplugged the communal aerial and tried the indoor one and still nothing, did you actually try a re-scan with the internal aerial installed? as if you haven't then you should try it.

Yeah, I've rescanned about 27 times-- I even bought a new Freeview-ready TV because I assumed the TV simply stopped picking up a signal. The new TV has the same problem. There are no options left here, if it's not a transmitter issue, there must be an inversion bubble over my apartment... One would think a rescan with only an indoor DTV aerial would pick up SOMETHING, even if just barely, so that I would know something was being transmitted? This is driving me crazy, not just because I didn't get to see Mythbusters yesterday, but becuase I can't make sense of it (that is, if it's true there's been no change in or issue with transmission)... Argh!

Joseph K,
I have no reception probs from Emley Moor. You are in Bradford, there are various relays for Emley, (around 56 I think) what part of Bradford? are you tuning to Idle or Bramley or another? Could you state your postcode which will help the guys on here to pinpoint where the best signal will come from for your location.

Joseph K: Another thing you should try is, rather than keep carrying out auto-tunes do a manual tune on Emley's BBC Ch47, and if anything comes up store it, then carry out similar on ITV (Ch44), Emley Moor being located at 13 miles away.
This is purely for a test, as although you have said that nothing was picked up its likely that the signal "is" there but sitting at just under the threshold level for reception, manual tuning always being more successful in these type of situations.
By the way as far as manual tuning is concerned, on most equipment as soon as you enter the channel number you intend to scan into the box the signal strength being received on that channel should start indicating before you scan it, so you could make a note of whatever is seen then enter the ITV (Ch44) and likewise noting whatever is seen, giving an update on results.
I did also notice that as Ron Lake has touched on you are surrounded by local relays, and even although the terrain (as shown on this site) indicates a clear path between you and the Keighley relay (@ 9mls) the actual trade view reception predictor indicates reception as only being possible from the commercial multiplexes, and with this being poor on a permanent basis.

Thanks again--
I'm in BD1 5BL, and I'm beginning to think, as Ron Lake and JB38 mentioned, that perhaps it's a relay I've been receiving from (since I needed a signal booster from September to get all of freeview, and have been told I shouldn't have needed a booster for Emley Moor).
I've tried manually tuning and all the same... no signal.
When I first turn the TV on, Signal Information says Modulation QPSK,Quality 0, Strength 91. After I scan or try to manually enter a channel, Modulation, Quality and Strangth are all 0.
But I really have a feeling there's a relay station with problems... I've tried calling a phone number on a BBC site, but the number didn't work!

Joseph K: Examination of the images of your appartment block taken by Google Streetview clearly show what could well be the communal aerial and it is directed at Emley Moor:
bd1 5bl - Google Maps
You shouldn't need a booster with *any* communal aerial system (unless perhaps you're feeding more than one set from a single aerial outlet) because the system should be supplying the signals at the correct level (as communal systems contain amplifiers/boosters). If it's not, then that is a matter which needs addressing by whoever is is responsible for the system.

Looking a the map of the Emley Moor transmitter on this website, BD1 5BL is not in a green zone...(?) Since I've always needed a booster to get all of the channels, isn't that an indication that either my building was never getting the Emley Moor signal or something's been wrong with the communal aerial?
I guess my confusion comes from the fact that I can't get any sort of signal whatever from an indoor antenna or by any means. I would expect, if it were an issue with the communal antenna, that unplugged from it, I would recieve something, if only one channel with poor reception? (As I did when I first moved into the building in September)
Sorry to keep bothering everyone about this-- I'm just hoping that it isn't a problem with my building because God knows if it would ever be taken care of... Either way it looks like the fact that this happened over a weekend has made it complicated...

Joseph K: I was only really referring to you being surrounded by a series of local relays to give an indication that the whole of your area is that of being problematic for reception, and if you attempted to "manually" tune in Emleys BBC & ITV mux channels I gave you and nothing was indicated then that could be classed as bad news, considering the power of the transmitters involved. That said though, when you mentioned that when you first switched on the TV that the strength was indicated at 91% but the quality was zero is something that would normally have given rise to suspicion of the reverse of a weak signal applying, as absolute zero quality accompanied by high strength is something that's usually seen when a tuner is overloaded by an excessively high level of signal, but if you have tried a manual tune on the channels given "with the set top aerial installed" then overloading cannot occur and so some other factor is in existence, and which to be quite honest about it is something that only an on-site investigation is liable to resolve. I realise that post codes do not necessarily always indicate an exact location, but should "Gatehaus" be the building in question is this relatively new? as if its been there well before last September then the communal aerial system distribution amplifiers may not have been re-adjusted to compensate for the massively increased output from the Emley Moor transmitters, this causing all sorts of instability problems associated with overloading. Just purely for information purposes the local relays I referred to are / Idle: 3mls Keighley: 9mls Oxenhope: 9mls Halifax: 7mls Beecroft Hill: 4mls Bradford West: 2mls
