Keith: Perhaps the only thing left is a full/factory reset. What's the make and model of your receiver (box/TV with built-in Freeview)?

Keith: Have you checked with your neighbours to determine if they are also experiencing similar problems with BBC reception? but as far as the manual tuning of mux Ch39 is concerned, if you were genuinely on your TV or boxes manual tuning menu and entered Ch39, but with this NOT being followed by pressing search or scan, then this should only have resulted in the signal strength of anything received on mux Ch39 being indicated, because if as you have said, you seen it scrolling up to Ch42 then you must have accidentally selected the auto tune menu.
By the way, if your neighbours are not experiencing any problems then try connecting a short length of wire (about 5 feet or so) into your aerial socket and select ITV, and if this results in ITV1 being seen then carry out another auto tune whilst the wire is still being used.

The Commercial broadcasters aren't likely to be broadcasting from Llandrindod Wells transmitter and over 1,000 other similar small relays, ever. See here for an explanation:

You were working on the transmitter some weeks ago and as a result I had no TV during the day. It returned in the evening.
It would appear that the same thing has happened today (WEdnesday 31st October) am I correct?

STephanie Grant: No one from this website was working on the transmitter, as it has no connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company. There is no engineering work showing yet, although often the engineering notices don't show up straight away. There are no future frequency changes planned for this transmitter so you should not attempt to retune.
