Carole: I have yet again tuned my system, and I can see all the channels clearly, except for 81, which is breaking up and low signal strength. Could someone explain to me without using a lot of technospeak how I can fix this? It was fine for years until the last few months. Since then I have had poor service, but with occasional good spots. I have not changed my tv, aerial or anything else. BS10 6NS

Chris.SE: My aerial is on my chimney, there is only one and it works very well, some of the time. Today first the sound went off the HD channels, then when I returned, I lost all the channels. This website says there are no problems at Mendip, but unless somebody has put up a gigantic metal screen somewhere behind my house, there is no other explanation. I have no signals at all ow for several hours. ANy ideas?

Chris.SE: I have no channels at all. I was watching Yesterday a couple of days ago and it was fine. I could also get channel 4 hd +1 (109), which is from Mendip. Channels 7, 231 and 233 are fine. I have never seen any channels in the 800 range. After my last retune I found some in the 700s. I just bought a new tv last week, and it has been fine including this morning around 9 - 10 am. However, when I switched on to watch tennis around 3 pm, there was no sound on hd channels, then I tried to tune them better, which left me no channels at all. I have tried every type of tuning many times with no result. The aerial is still attached, the cables look fine. Either my aerial has just died, which is possible, or this is just another of the many problems I get with freeview transmission, which I find much more likely. If I am getting some kind of massive interference, how would I find out? Nothing works at all!

Chris.SE: This is the situation. I was getting loads of channels on Friday morning. By 3 pm there was a problem with HD, and after that I could get no channels at all, despite doing everything you recommend, for the rest of the day. On Saturday morning I tried the retune again and it found all of the channels I had on Friday morning. Nothing has changed - my aerial is a wideband type, it has not moved, the cables are all fine, the tv is new.
I do not believe the problem is in my equipment. This is either a transmitter problem, a massive and unknown jamming problem, or the system on my equipment became non-functional for a few hours, then started working again. As I do not have the resources to check out these possibilities, I am now looking for a cable service I can rely on not to take up hours of my time every week.

Talking Pictures tv is breaking up and unwatchable. This happened last week too and then it cleared up on Friday. Back to awful again. I have done every bit of retuning possible. What is the problem?
