Ian Jones- You will have a flylead or wall socket that has broken down and something in your or next doors house is turning on with a timer that is causing break up.?

Hello,
We are experiencing a near total loss of freeview on our Freeview 47" TV. I found out we are in the Waltham aerial range and that it is undergoing some kind of work? But the details for this aerial state only that the engineering work was on the 3rd Dec.
Would anybody know if the transmitter is still down?
Thanks

According to the reception map alongside your question you are well within the Sutton Coldfield area but way outside the Waltham area. So you may do better to use the West Midlands service instead of the East Midlands ones.

Thanks, I just assumed we were using the Waltham mast as most stuff I have looked at puts that mast as our local one. I will have to check the direction of our roof aerial to see where we are aimed. I presume we would have to move our aerial if it is pointing at the Waltham mast?
Thanks

Will get BBC 4 HD on the 10th Dec from Waltham

Peter Rostron: No, BBC Four HD won't be available from Waltham on 10th December because the multiplex which carries it, COM7, will not be on air from Waltham until next year.
