Dave Lindsay: Thank you. Unlike A D Wood I've experienced this since the last retune was required some 7 months ago, not the last day or so.
Shame I can't get a partial refund on my TV tax for loss of service or some other financial recompense if I do end up having to buy further expensive equipment/services like Sky, simply to receive a handful of channels I was in receipt of prior to the last required retune and prior to the switchover.
The situation is a shambles, and that's being polite about it.

Not predicted? How so. The maps here say I should have full Freeview coverage under the Sudbury transmitter, and that I would also think is supported by people up the road from me having the channels I do not.
But regardless of whether I was "predicted" to or not the idea of the digital switchover I believed was to bring more TV to more people not reduce what they can receive.
To be as polite as possible - I despise people who pretty much stand up for the shambles for many that is the digital switchover by way of making excuses and pointing out things like "they're not covered by the TV tax".

Braintree
I live in Braintree, Essex, postcode CM7 5QY.
My household lost ITV4 (and others on the same multiplex) on the last retune and I sincerely hope that on June 27th that ITV4 is restored to my service by a simple retune as I am getting fed up with watching the British Touring Car Championship on ITV4 via the ITV website - it's a poor quality stream at best.
What I don't understand is that others up the road can receive ITV4 and my household can receive the channels on COM5 and A which are also at low power.
This leads me to believe my household will never get ITV4 (and the other channels on that multiplex) back without spending money on a new aerial or other expensive equipment - something which shouldn't be necessary considering this switchover has been forced upon us.
