Regarding the post I made earlier about COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. The problem has now gone away as of about 3pm, and all our freeview devices can now successfully receive this channel again.
If anybody can shed any light on what happened to cause the original loss of signal for some devices and not others, then I'd certainly appreciate it for reference in case the situation arises again.

Along the same lines as the recent posts from Mike Davison and G Hadley, we are now suddenly experiencing problems with COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. We have a recent Panasonic TV and not so recent Humax Fox-T2 that now can't handle Channel 32, having both been able to do so previously without problem. We also have a TalkTalk YouView box which can still handle Channel 32 without any issue whatsoever.
The Panasonic and Humax devices don't seem to register a recognisable signal at all on Channel 32 at the moment, whereas the TalkTalk box is happy with it and shows an unwavering 100% signal quality.
I was starting to wonder if weather conditions had taken the signal out of tolerance for the Panasonic and Humax receivers, but the TalkTalk box's complete lack of problem with the channel, and G Hadley's post as someone in an excellent reception area, make me think this is unlikely.
It seems more likely that some receivers aren't able to handle the signal coming from Emley Moor on Channel 32 at the moment i.e. the receivers aren't able to handle a signal that they should be able to handle, or Emley Moor is somehow transmitting a non-compliant or obscure signal. I admit the second of these sounds remarkably unlikely.
Any advice and/or pointers would be much appreciated.
