jb38: thanks for coming back to me. Its seems really odd that something is effecting both our media centres on the same channels and but PCs use a different makes of tuner.
Seems to be affecting ITV1, ITV2, ITV1+1, More4, E4.
Channel 5 seems to be back today though.
The signal is spit 3 ways but does go via a booster to clear up the single; we may need to look a 4way booster to see if that helps!

Based in Leicester with two media centres both of which have experienced blackouts on ITV1, Ch5, ITV2 Ch4+1 along with a couple of random channels I never watch.
Both PC have different hardware and tuners and nothing has changed on either machine and this all started about a month ago!
So my thoughts are this...Transmitter had some work done its and WMC doesn't support the changes! Microsoft are clearly no longer supporting media centre so unlikely to get a patch off them! So someone at the transmitter ideally reconfigure the sign to cover all tuners out there including WMC or we are all going have to buy set top boxes to watch and record the missing channels!
All this for 4G...

Anyone got a further update on WMC? My partner is getting close to killing me if I can't find away of getting it fixed.
I have emailed and spoken to operator of the mast and they're reporting no issues; however if you can see pick up signal from another mast okay, how can we be having issues with this one?

Last couple of days we have noticed that we are unable to pick up some of the standard Def ITV, channel 4 & 5. We run a media centre and we have never had an issue with signage even though the aerial is in the loft space.
Wondering if its the effect of 4G roll out in the Leicester area?
