Rob: Since friday night we have lost all our freeview channels apart from 11 bbc channels and have 11 bbc radio channels. Changed tv thinking it was that and still happening. Help!! Seagry Court is our nearest transmitter. All the above is still happening after countless retuning efforts!

Thanks Rob, hopefully they will get it fixed asap. Can you keep me informed if you find anything out. They should at least put something online.

Karen Hedges: I have been searching for anyone else seeing the issue. Presumably a transmitter problem, but why no information?
Fortunately my main TV is on Freesat - no issues there.

Wow, thought I was the only one with this issue as I've been checking out transmitter information most of the weekend. The rest of my weekend has been spent replacing various parts of aerial cable and booster, spent about £40 so far! Plus keep re-tuning my TV and getting 22 BBC channels only.
Wish I could re-align to Mendip, but I was told when I moved into the house that it would require a 15 foot pole on top of the house!
