I have U View on my tv but cannot access the programs; it just states 'information unavailable'. The menu and programs are listed but I cannot access them. I am told I have 'Freeview' already installed on my tv, but again cannot access this service. I wonder if you can help me with this request? Thank you, Jeff Jones.

Jeff: The Briton Ferry transmitter changes frequencies overnight so you will need to retune. Also, check for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your postcode. If you channels are not restored, please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted signal strength.
