Today 30/7/13 I cannot get any BBC radio reception on either of my portable receivers. Radio 1,2,3,etc all dead, other stations are fine
i.e. talksport, Heart etc.
Engineer pages say nothing wrong!
Any answers?

Just a couple of question regarding the recent upgrade.
1. What has been upgraded?
2. I note that Channels 70 - 85 have been moved. What should we do with the Channels listed 70 - 85?
Thanks

Andy: Similar problems in Crowborough, East Sussex. Could problems be related to the Freeview retuning yesterday, or is that too much of a coincidence ?!

Looks like they are building a new mast (pole) adjacent to the old one. I wonder if the coverage will change?
