Since the digital switchover I have lost ALL my digital channels on both my TV (built in freeview) and my set top box. I live at the bottom of Albion Hill with no direct line of site to the transmitter. I have been told my signal was being relayed via one of the tower blocks in central Brighton. Is it possible the relay hasn't been updated since the transmitter switchover? Am I the only one experiencing problems in central Brighton?

Ok, comparing the info on the Brighton Central and Whitehawk transmitters, the channels broadcast and the alignment I certainly was tuned into the Whitehawk transmittter!
But no matter how much reseting/retuning I get nothing.
The set top box has a utility to check signal strength per channel and there is no signal at all
You'd think now that it's pumping out 4000W of digital goodness things would be great - do you know if anything else changed? i.e. type/format of the digital signal? both the TV and set top box are old and may not be able to cope with a different digital format

Just to let you know that my "no signal" problem I posted last week was due to old equipment... I bought a Goodmans GDR11, from a local high street retailer, for £24.99 plugged it and and Bob was my proverbial uncle! :-D Thanks for the replies, most helpful in pointing me in the right direction
