I have an attic aerial which has been working fine, for a few days now tho', the channels that are from :
COM4
SDN
H -3dB
C41 (634.0MHz) 362m DTG-8 , (ie 10, 20, 21, etc)
are now reporting no signal. Re-tuning one TV, and to the EPG they no longer exist - the other TV I havn't re-tuned, and it just says 'No Signal'.
I can't find any information online as to what has happened.
Thanks for any advise.

I live in Alton at GU34 2TL and receive TV transmission from the local Windmill Hill transmitter in Alton (subsidiary of Hannington). Currently we have no signal at all (16:25 on 2/3/2017). We have an aerial in the loft. It was working fie until today, and we have checked the cables etc

G Titterington: Since there seems to be no problem with the transmitter, best check all the cables again.

I am in Portsmouth and I am not receiving channels 105 to 120.
I have an exterior arial, that is still standing on the roof. These channels
have been missing since 09:15 (when I started to look). It is now 10:15. I have
retuned the television a couple of times and the channels have disappeared from
the channel list.
Can you help - Thank you

John Blackmore: Since the transmitter has no apparent problems, its likely your system. Unfortunately, you've retuned, thus making it much more difficult to get the right transmitter.
Check your cabling, because at best its a loose connection, or similar. Check signal strength on all muxes - if you've lost the weak ones, then the stronger ones will be next.
If they are all low, and you've checked what you can, you'll need to call in a professional.

John Blackmore: I love the expression "Since the transmitter has no apparent problems" that reminds me of the old joke: How many hardware engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? None, we have one here and it's working perfectly.
There's clearly some sort of intermittent fault on Hannington. Our installed equipment doesn't just randomly fail until it rusts and falls off the roof or until a stom like the 16th Oct 1987 tears it bodily off the chimney (got mine fixed that time with an insurance claim).
So I think the folks at Arqiva need to do some more testing and fault diagnosis before stating "Since the transmitter has no apparent problems".

Dougie Lawson: An engineering message has popped up, saying there is/was a weak signal.
But the reality is that even a 'weak' signal from a transmitter is liable to be more powerful than the digital signal was before switchover - so if your reception is suddenly dodgy you probably have an underlying problem which any engineering work has simply shown up.
Sometimes there are faults on transmitters, and it worth reporting them, but the bulk of people who claim 'it must be the transmitter' are not thinking logically - the most likely fault is that their end.

Adrian: There is no mux officially being broadcast on Ch:29 from Hannington - at least not currently according to DigitalUk's coverage checker. But Ch.29 is listed elsewhere as being for a local mux.
What are the TV stations on this mux? It is possible that it may be the local mux starting up which isn't yet formally listed and will have limited coverage. I note that there are engineering works going on at Hannington according to DigitalUk. Also That'sTV have a That's Thames Valley listed as coming soon, so maybe that's it!
