Ed Henderson:
Engineering work has been going on at Emley Moor simnce at least last Thursday, with it being noted that there are likeluy to be some service interruptions. The works being noted above your posting.
By retuning you have lost several of the signals that were available, you would have been better off waiting until the engineering works have been completed.
That is still the case and you should only retune once that work has finished. Check back here to determine if the work has finished, indicated by the engineering works notice not being posted afresh again.

Ed Henderson: Apart from the answer given by MikeP, the fact of you having mentioned Freesat as well as Freeview rather indicates that the problem referred to might be of a twofold nature, as Freesat is in no way connected with Freeview transmissions.
If by any chance you are connected into a communal aerial / dish system? then your problem is likely down to a defect in the distribution amplifier, the repair of same being the responsibility of the buildings maintenance department.

MikeP: I live in Bradford BD5 9EX area and a couple months ago I had a new aerial fitted by a professional engineer and all my Freeview channels were perfect on signal strength 10. I have recently noticed the HD channels have been losing their strength down to 5 or lower. Is there any reason for this? Any transmitter works going on I don't know about. I think my aeriel is pointing to the Idle or Shipley transmitter.

Stuart Swaine: Check your actual transmitter - you might be on Bilsdale, which would give you both excellent covergae, but also a wider number of channels (see digitaluk), or you could be on another transmitter entirely. If your on the right transmitter, check all muxes. Some are weaker than others, but if your signal strength has been cut in half (and remember signal strength should be around 75% - 100% is too high), then its worth tracing the signal back to check you havn't got a problem. Might just be the aerial lead is loose or dodgy in the back of the TV.
