Hi all,
All Freeview receivers manually retuned to Brighton Whitehawk channels ONLY. So far so good: normal services and sanity restored.
Thank you to ukfree.tv for the invaluable information and the opportunity to share frustrations!
Regards.....

I live about 4 miles from newhaven and have no dab signal since breakfast time. It is not a problem with radio as it is same over 5 separate radios. Strange thing is they are showing the station details ie radio 4 but no text and signal strength is between 25 and 30%
