Michael. Sorry, the 'system' added a G unexpectedly, it should have read "Does your TV have an HD tuner built in?"

BBC 1 & BBC2 and other s on that MUX reporting no signal on any of my devices. A retune on the main TV loses the channels altogether, but it still says no fault at bilsdale, all other channels are fine, any ideas?

Ken: I have the same problem with Sky News and other channels showing no signal on the original tuning and missing altogether when I retune.
Postcode HG3 2QF. We have had good reception on these and other channels in the past 6 years. Problem started on 1st October 2015
Thank God ITV1 is fine.

Hi all.
I've stumbled across this site while searching for info re my recent reception issues.
Postcode SR70HX. As with Bryan they began on 1st October 2015 up until which time I've been receiving a good steady signal with only very intermittent and minor artefacts appearing on screen.
And then on Oct 1st I lost every channel on all Multiplex's except the one containing BBC 1 HD etc..
Occasionally channels from other Multiplex's sputter back into life and then break up to a "No Signal" message.
New aerial on chimney with mast mounted signal booster and new good quality cable installed 5 months ago, and no problems until yesterday, which still continue tonight.
At a loss other than to ask the installer for his advice. He's the most professional and recommended installer in my local area of Seaham, and very knowledgeable, and I'm sure he'll help if he can, but the fact that I have a strong signal (just under 100%) on the working HD channels makes me feel it's nothing to do with the installation.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Dennis

DennisD: If your signal strength is 100%, then that is a problem. Search for 'too much of a good thing' on this site. I suspect the booster might not be needed...
