Glennis Harrison: Whats the make/model of your Freeview box? (although I have a horrible feeling your going to say Goodmans..) and a postcode would be very helpful.

Karen: Whats your postcode? Its sounds like you've picked up another transmitter accidently, which is giving you a worse signal. If you put in your postcode to the site, you'll find which transmitter you should be on.

Neil Burton: Try finding out which transmitter your tuned into, its probably the wrong one.

Matt: No atmospherics have been reported (and are pretty unlikely, looking at the weather). Lodically, its your system at fault.

KMJ,Derby: Perhaps copying and pasting your excellent advice earlier that: ' It is likely that you could have found signals from different transmitters to the one that your aerial points to. ' would cover most of the questions for the past day!
Perhaps Brianist could add this to the orginal retune page, because there seems to be loads of people convinced its all sort part of some 'plot'!

Greg: I cant be bothered to get into the FM v DAB argument, but the idea that 'FM undigitized stuff' sounds great on Radio 3 makes no sense, because all the music (unless its live) is pre recorded and archived digitally. Your listening to the same digital music, whether you listen to it on FM, the net or DAB. And were CD players really that rubbish 30 years ago? I do remember someone in my shared student house playing Chesney Hawke's 'I am the one and only' endlessly because it was the only CD he possesed (he'd had to shell out for the player), but the sound quality was fine. We've actually had formats like SACD for years, but most people seem to have survived without it, and High Res Audio looks interesting, but your not going to hear it via FM. Russ: Analogue might live on, but digital is taking more of the market every year - including digital own stations: BBC News - BBC 6 Music overtakes Radio 3 for the first time - shame about Radio 3...

Colin Evans: Im afraid there was no 'fault'. The problems people have been having is entirely consistant with retuning, but finding the wrong transmitter, hence low signal, missing channels, etc.

Shirley: Just for curiosities sake, was the DVD a DVD recorder? If it was, did it have another lead from the DVD to the TV's aerial socket?

anna kril: Check which transmitter your actually tuned to. Most of the problems people have said about is becuase their equipment has found the wrong transmitter.
In the case of a digibox, the standard Goodmans/Bush etc box does not manually tune (I know, it took three attempts to get 'my' transmitter), and its probably picking up the lowest RF Channel it can find. In your case, I suspect its Moeil Y parc or the Wrekin, because it found them first.

Paul Blackburn: You look golden for Heathfield, so it sounds like your system needs some TLC.
