Below are all of Rog's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I would be very interested to know if anybody else has lost a lot of Freeview channels in the last couple of days. Despite a google search I cannot find any mention of problems at Sandy Heath.

I am not sure how relevant it is but I notice the channels I am missing are on COM4, COM5 and COM6. I have just phoned Digital UK and they tell me there is no known issues with Sandy Heath, so that leads me back to thinking its an aerial problem but how can the aerial be working for some groups of channels and not others?, especially when it received all channels less than a week ago? totally baffled of Northampton.

Thanks for the reply Dave - I only have one TV, Freeview is built into the TV and I have no booster. I did try manually tuning into channels 51, 52, and 48 this morning and the message was "no signal" As far as I can see the aerial on the roof looks just as normal, so not moved or anything. . .

Dave: I'm sure you are right about the aerial, it is a old aerial, but there is just one thing I don't get; how come even though it is old it was good enough to receive the channels less than a week ago but not now?

Mark; many thanks for the detailed aerial info, but last week with the very same aerial I had no problem, I could receive all channels, apparently nothing at Sandy Heath has changed, so whats caused this?

jb38: thanks, that's really interesting. Well, I don't think I will be investing in a new aerial just yet - will wait and see what happens, as you say time will tell.

jb38: thanks for the update. I certainly will not be making any changes to my aerial for the moment . . . as you say it sounds as though there something going on over there at Sandy Heath, even if they are not admitting it :)

Ted: Is this all channels? . . . I am having a similar thing but on just Ch48-51-52, I am in Northampton by the way.
