BooHoo just retuned after repeated messages on the screen and I've lost itv3, 5 usa (one of my favourites). I hate digital tv! Don't know which transmitter covers the north Isle of Man, either Calderbeck or Winter Hill.

Hi, we've been digital since the first changeover (isle of man) - why have I now lost all the SDN channels? Use a freeview box with a sony bravia set.

Hi Dave Lindsay: Yes! Thanks I didn't know about Divis. I have tried three times to manually tune. 1st time clearing all the channels and then manually tuning for 25, 28, 30, 27, 24, 22, 26, 29 and 23. All the list came back but when I select 10 (itv3) or 31 5usa) it says programme not tuned. Then tried twice just to manually tune channel 23, but no joy, it appears on the list but there is nothing there. I am really disappointed as I love 5usa, we get a great reception on every other channel. Any suggestions would be most welcome and thanks for your reply.

Hi Dave Many thanks for your reply, yes it does seem that our signal is being blocked by Divis. I have just spoken to our ariel man and he has had lots of calls from people with the same problem. We are fortunate here in Ramsey that we have always been able to receive ITV4, parts of the IOM can't watch the TT programmes that ITV4 produce! The ariel man is going to have his work cut out installing new equipment for those of us affected. And they said digital tv was going to be such a wonderful thing...doh.
Thanks again for explaining things so well.
