I have no signal at 22.30 on 19th May. My Tv aerial has been recently checked by an Aerial engineer and is in good working order after a previous problem which was reported in the local paper as affecting the Budleigh Salterton/Exmouth area. I am in the ex5 area of east devon and use the Stockland Hill transmitter, and only have a Freeview aerial. Both TV's have been checked and show the same No Signal message. Thank you for your kind assistance.

G.Bradbury: Ask people close by if they are also having a problem, and check the transmitter info above. If they are OK, then its you. And something is duff somewhere - either a cable, a connection or possibly the electrics for any booster, etc.
