For information purposes really...
I lost Freeview from both my TV's [both on seperate aerials] at approx' 00.30hrs Wed' 30/05/2012. I tried without success to retune until 04.30hrs and then went to bed...beaten!
At 09.00hrs I successfully retuned both TV's without any problem, so i'm assuming it was something to do with 'atmospherics', anyway all is well again.

Richie Fraser: to jb38;
Thanks for the info. My location is North Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE29...
Once again this morning Thurs'31/05/12;@ 00.15 hrs; only lost some channels this time but on both TV's again[both on seperate aerials remember].
I've just googled my transmitter, 'Pontop Pike' while writing this and can see there is some maintenance work being done on it, with some of the info as follows... ''Over the next week Pontop Pike main transmitter: TV (analogue) Liable to interruption, TV (digital) Liable to interruption, Radio (analogue) working normally, no analogue radio.''
So sincere apologies everyone, it's 'work-in-progress'that's the problem.
Why on earth don't they transmit this info, or run it it the local news?? It would save a load of hassle!
Good tip for everyone tho'...Google your transmitter if you know it, and check for any maintenance work being done.
