Charlotte: You best policy would be to first of all check with a neighbour to find out if the problem is confined to your installation or not, as maybe others are also experiencing the same as yourself, if they are then its the landlords problem.

Charlotte - Just to add to jb38's advice, If you want to know if there is a problem in your flat, A simple signal test at the wall plate will tell you.
Any aerial engineer will be able to do this for a small call out charge, prob take about 15 mins

i have has problems in the small hours of today 2am - 5am, lost everything at one point and most had problems like intermittent signals, they seem to be all back now though :)
Currently I have no com6 and I get some interference on com4.
Prior to that noticed com4 was weak I could not power to devices from it, so com4 and com6 need more power IMO. I do not see how turning them up can cause a problem when they are so weak in the first place.
Problem is worse in Summer I find so some tweaking needed there!!!

Am i correct in assuming the Nottingham transmitter will not be carrying the proposed new HD versions of BBC 3/4 News 24 etc which would be a shame as i understand Nottingham is no longer a relay but a digital transmitter in its own right
I see they will be available from Waltham and Sutton Coldfield but unfortunately reception from these transmitters is very poor at my address

Anthony: Yes, that is correct. The Freeview HD service will be coming from a select group of transmitters - see Want to see the extended Freeview HD coverage areas?

You show the True Entertainment channel, number 61, as being included in the COM6 / ArqB MUX, on channel 48, but I am receiving it in COM4 / SDN on channel 51.
(I checked on your site first to see which MUX I needed to rescan manually, and when rescanning channel 48 did not find True Entertainment, I had to do a full auto rescan of all channels to get it which meant having to set all my timers all over again.).

KateR: I believe you are correct the new True Entertainment channel seems to be on COM4 rather than COM6, this is reflected on DTGs MUX listings:

Hi. I'm completely new here, but I have to ask very kindly if you could remove the telephone number mentioned in Stewart Crowe's post 3 up from here.
That number belongs to Arqiva, that's correct - but it's an Ex-Directory number given to members of Arqiva's viewer panel, and as we are all instructed each year in the operations letter, it must not be published openly to anyone.
This is simply because if everyone has it, Emley Moor would be overrun every time Freeview goes down. They need a few specific "this is what's gone, this is which mux(es) are off" etc, rather than people asking "my telly's not working, what's wrong???".
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but your help would be welcomed. Thanks!
