Hemel Hempstead (Hertfordshire, England) Full Freeview transmitSunday 9 September 2018 1:06PM

MikeP: Thank you for your reply-- my aerial is rooftop mounted pointing directly at the Hemel Hempstead transmitter which i can see from my property. The aerial is approx ten years old and has not been problematic. As stated earlier i am receiving all other channels on both my TV sets with no interference.
Ive tried the Freeview reset on both sets with no changes resulting.
I have typed in my postcode into this website and the web shows i should be receiving a good signal including HD signals from the Hemel transmitter
i was aware of the problem on my main TV when i turned it on Friday morning with a message no channels available where upon i carried out Auto Retune resulting in the absence of HD channels.
My other TV was still receiving channels but reported the HD channels as lost or weak signal. i carried out an auto retune on the second set but to no avail.
regards,
Malcolm T

Thank you for the advice-- called Freeview re the above and attempted several manual and auto retunes over the phone but still have same problem. Freeview advise they have no record of any Hemel Hempstead transmitter recent retunes or recent engineering work.
Freeview did however state they had received a similar channel loss inquiry today from the same area
New free replacement aerial only undertaken if they have carried out a planned retune with a transmitter.
Was advised to wait a couple days as the missing channels may return (similarly advised by local TV shop).
Looks like might be an aerial issue and was given the number of a local aerial company they approve based in Apsley

All-- Whilst watching TV this evening at approx 7.55pm i lost all programmes with an on screen message "signal lost" approx two minutes later programmes returned. i then carried out an Auto retune and the missing HD channels have returned! Other TV set now has HD channels also.
Of interest i note the Hemel transmitter is/has undergone Transmitter Engineering affecting HD channels this evening.
Coincidance or what?

Hi--since yesterday (Friday AM) i have been unable to receive HD channels on both my TV sets which receive signals from a roof mounted aerial- carried out auto tune on both sets but still no HD channels. I live in Abbots Langley Herts and receive signal from Hemel hempstead transmitter which i note was having work undertaken during the early hours of Friday.
Any idea what may be my problem?
Many Thanks
Malcolm
