We retuned our freeview as advised after 28 March and have now lost some channels, like Dave and E4 plus 1. How can we get them back?

Hi - Dave, Sky News etc (ie all in that set)disappeared a few days ago. After numerous retunings can now get very 'broken' reception of Dave. We are on Guildford transmitter (or possible Reigate) and halfway through the changeover (2nd part on 18 April). Will it all come back properly after that or is there something we need to do ? No new equipment etc has been added and configuration of kit remains as it was before this problem.

Nick,Mablethorpe.It is up to the provider concerned in this case Freesat whether the Dave channels should be on their platforms.It may or may not be accomodated at a later date.
Still at least you have both Freesat and Freeview,unlike many unfortunate souls out there on the majority of relay Freeview masts who only receive 30 odd programme channels on either 2 or if they have HD compatible equipment,3 multiplexes.

Nick, Mark Fletcher: No, it's up to UKTV to decide to forego Sky's subscription payments and broadcast free-to-air instead, relying only on ad revenue. Dave isn't available on Sky's free service either - it's encrypted and requires a subscription.
After going free-to-air, Dave could then join Freesat's service. It reportedly costs £30,000 a year to be listed in Freesat's EPG: JML fails in Freesat EPG listing appeal - Tech News - Digital Spy . This would be on top of Sky's charges to appear in *their* EPG. (Sky charge £21,000 per channel, but there's also a Platform Contribution Charge based on viewing figures: Dave is charged £520,910 at present though prices are changing in July).
UKTV may review their position as their contracts with Sky come up for renewal, and as Freesat grows.
Free-to-air channels are still viewable from Sky and Freesat boxes even if the channel provider doesn't pay to have them appear in the EPGs, but you have to go to Other Channels and tune them in manually. For the majority of people, that means they're invisible.
