D Lavington: Are you sure your tuned to Emley Moor? Your just 4km from the transmitter - to lose a mux that close means that something must be very wrong!

dibble```` : Why are you using the Ogmore Vale transmitter? Click on the DigitalUK link and you'll see that Wevoe would give you all the channels, apparently with excellent quality.

dee price: We could do with a postcode, but in the meantime, check your aerial system. BBC channels are usually the strongest, so if your system has had a partial failure, then they are the ones that might be OK, with the others vanishing.

Eve: Sorry, but I was going by the terrain plot, which seemed pretty promising, which is much the same story from Wolfsbane: UK digital TV reception predictor Thats the odd thing - you're right on the coast, and the Wenvoe signal pattern Wenvoe (Cardiff, Wales) Full Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 12 years of independent, free digital TV advice indicates you should be able to pick up that transmitter with no problem, although if you can't, thats the way it is. However, you said 'We have been told that the signal is not directed to us in England and that is important for digital' - the signal pattern says otherwise. I think Dave Lindsay and JB38 have a mystery....

Stephen: See the DigitalUK website : 'The Freeview TV guide is being updated on Wednesday, 3 September' Digital UK - Home Basically, the guide is being overhauled, with new numbers for some channels, and its happening to all of us.

Rosalee Howard: I hate to point this out, but this isn't the 'Yesterday' website, so emailing UKFree.tv is of no help to you. lots of people do this with various channels, but your basically wasting your time. However (in the interests of historical accuracy), if a programme did state that the Amber Room was missing, they are totally correct. The orginal was last seen at Konigsburg Castle in 1945, where it was probably destroyed following fighting between German and Russian forces. Some Italian mosaics have apparently survived, but since the Russian's spent many years after the war trying to find it and failing, its likely that it it went up in smoke Amber Room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The room was reconstructed, a job which took almost 25 years, but its a reconstruction or facsimile, not a

a Bertram: Unless you have a poltigeist, you almost certainly have. Check that you havn't set up the TV's timer to come on - its easily done.

desmond frost: A postcode would be helpful. I'm not sure what a 'negative picture mode' is (a make and model would be a help as well as explaining what that means).
However, I'm taking a guess, but do you have a TV with a digibox attached? Mine does this sort of thing sometimes, and its caused by the scart connector on the back having broken slightly, and the wire connections being loose. If I put pressure on this scart, the picture goes pinkish. If this is the situation,in the short term, the best thing you can do is to leave it as it is if your getting a good picture (blutack helps to fix it in one place). While you can in theory get it repaired, the cost of that might outweigh the utility you might get from that set.
In the long term, if thats the problem, best to think about another TV. My best suggestion would be to consult my colleages at the shop opposite Homebase in Parkstone (I grew up in Poole, so I know the area well)!

D Mitchell: You should be fine for Midhurst, which has South Today. However, if your getting BBC in HD, just not South Today, check your tuned to Midhurst. Its RF channel is 55, but Crystal Palace/Guildford are on Channel 23 and 43 - the tuner could have picked them up first.
