NE6 5LU - no reported issues for this area. Oddly, we've had between 13, 42 and 88 channels showing after a retune..

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to try this with a different box as the YouView box we have doesn't allow for manual tuning.

Thanks for your tips. I've taken the YouView box out of the equation and done a manual retune with the TV only - all SD channels appear to be back, so I'll just replace the YouView box with an HD recorder, I'm leaving TalkTalk anyway so they can have their useless tech back.

Was told by freeview telephone helpline that changes to accommodate 5G is the reason for the recent retune and also why we now can only get 13 channels after a retune, none of which are watchable. HD channels have also disappeared. Their advice - you'll need to buy a new aerial. I'm in rented accommodation - that's not my responsibility, and even if it was, making such changes with only a warning of 'you'll need to retune' is a bit of a joke
