My Nan has got a similar problem with no longer having a signal for ITV3, 5* and Five USA. We did a retune on her idTV, did the unplug mains, aerial etc..then intall with no aerial and then reconnect arial etc... no luck! Her aerial in off a chimney stack with no blockages of trees etc.. and was installed by a professional last year, I believ it is a high gain one. Was bought for the purpose of freeview as her old one was past it at over 30yrs. Incidentally her other set top box has also lost the same channels on retune.
Any ideas? I have read that ITV and Channel 5 when analogue is switched off on 20th April will add more digital channels...will they return then?

Hi Brian. yes my nan lost BBC2 on the analogue and we did the retune after she said it went. We have it on the idTV and the set top box on the other tv. I thought it would be Ridge Hill as it is not very far away from where she is and reception has always been good on Analogue and on Digital before the switchover especiallysince we got her a better aerial.
I did wonder if we just leave it until the next switchover as I had read about the itv channels and 5 channels transmitting more after then. Fingers crossed! Hope it doesnt mean a wideband upgrade as she only had the current aerial last year.
thanks for helping.
