Hi Steve thanks for the response.
The aerial is still in position and correctly aligned - storm Kathleen was a relative pussycat compared to some of the previous storms we've had.
Trying a manual re-tune to the Backwell multiplexes there is no signal reception at all on (C22); zero Quality and zero Strength. This is the channel that carries all the HD programming.
Conversely PSB1 (C25) and PSB2(C28) are coming through fine.
Sounds to me like an issue with the Backwell Transmitter.
Any further thoughts?

There is no option to select DVB-T or DVB-T2 within the manual tuning screen.
When did PSB3 become DVB-T2 or has it always been DVB-T2?
I ask because I've been able to receive the PSB3 multiplex for a significant period of time and I would like to rule out any signal type 'updates' that might make my receiving equipment 'obsolete' - my TV is a relatively old set.....

Evening Chris
multiple re-tune attempts but no success. Checked the 800s but only Wenvoe channels hiding there.
received multiplex quality and strength as requested:-
C25 - Quality 10/10: strength 6.5/10
C28 - Quality 5/10; strength 6.5/10
No aerial amp or splitters in the receiving side of my setup
Not obviously seen anything from Restore TV - checked in email spam just in case

The Wenvoe signal is strong at my location and has always come through ever since I have lived here (22 years and counting).
However I have been able to select the West region option when tuning the TV allowing the BBC 1 and 2 West HD channels to come through. We have even recently got the upgrade to HD local news which was appreciated.
As the Backwell transmitter is a relay for Mendip maybe their engineering works are causing the service interruption?
I have contacted Restore TV so we'll see if that yields any useful results.
Thanks everyone for your assistance.

I'll check for water ingress in some daylight!

Hi Steve,
still not receiving West of England HD TV - only BBC Wales HD on BBC 1 and BBC 2.
West of England HD TV not been received for 2 - 3 days even after more than a dozen re-tunes.
Not sure what the channel 37, 39, 42 and 45 results is telling us all I can report is BBC West HD is missing and my TV is tuning to BBC Wales as 'strongest signal' option for BBC 1 and 2 HD

Steve/Chris - hopefully you are both picking this message up.
Miraculously C22 has returned - it was there when I switched on sometime after midday. It was definitely absent before during the morning period. Coming through with a steady 6/10 for both signal strength and quality.
Not as good as C25 and C28 which are both 10/10 for quality and 7-8/10 for strength
We still have strong winds in the area through this morning and still blowing now. Atmospherics have improved though.
Other than speaking with Restore TV this morning I've done nothing to alleviate the problem.
Mysterious.....

BBC 1 West HD and BBC 2 West HD are replaced with BBC Wales channels over the weekend of Storm Kathleen. Re-tuning makes no difference.
Is this an issue with storm Kathleen or something more fundamental?
When will I get back my regional HD channels?
