Look at the Digital UK website and put in your full post code. That will show you both the current channels being used and what the planned changes are over the next couple of years or so.

Andy: It's a likely minor reception change due to a retune at Oxford - but that will depend very much on your exact location. You need to do what MikeP has suggested to confirm.

I'm in Tilehurst, Reading. It's 02:30 and I've been without any freeview for a few hours. I have two different aerials that are tuned to the same transmitter mast and I have I'm tried retuning but there is no signal. There is no engineering work published so what's going on. I also have more than one television.

Linds: Freeview announced (on my TV at least) that you would need to retune today (Wed April 18th), since they are moving channels around to make room for 4g mobile. I'm also in Tilehurst looking at Hannington, and have successfully retuned at 5am. I'm on the wrong side of a hill, and have been having signal problems recently. I'm waiting to see if the signal has improved. Otherwise, I will have to change to Crystal Palace.

There was engineering work overnight at Hannington, look at the Transmitter Engineering post below yours.
Retuning at that time was very bad idea. If there is no signal there is nothing for the TV to tune too! All you have achieved is loosing all your channels you had before. Only perform a retune when required, not whilst engineering work is being carried out. Now that that has finnished, for today at least, you should now retune.

I have retuned a number of times today, but seem to have lost BBC4 HD, CH4+1 HD, and 4SEVEN HD.
I've noticed that CH55 and CH56 seem to be on reduced power compared to the other channels.
I'm located in Wokingham.

I was forced to perform a 'return to shipping condition' on my TV to force it to erase the channel list completely. A re-scan then found the missing channels.
