Just a brief update, I was able to retune to all BBC channels at midnight last night only to find that at 6.00am this morning I was informed that the signal for Freeview was too low and unable to show any BBC channels again!
I don't understand why all other providers are always OK but the mighty BBC goes down.

Thanks for your reply MikeB. I agree that I should be receiving a good signal and up until last Wednesday I was, then all BBC channels went off. Nothing has been altered and I can still receive all other channels except BBC.
I have just checked my booster in the loft thinking it might be that playing up but when I switched it off I lost everything so I assume it's doing its job.
The only thing I can think of is that when the BBC came back (briefly) we had just had a thunderstorm so I am wondering if it might be weather related (what do I know!). If the aerial has moved (birds landing on it) would that be enough to lose only BBC?
I've just found a channel checker on my Freeview box and it tells me that on channel 60 the signal strength is excellent but of poor quality - what does that mean and why would that be so?
Confused

Hi There
I live between Brixham and Paignton TQ4 7BQ, over the past 3 days I intermittently lost all BBC reception. Today I reset all Freeview channels and I no longer have any BBC channels showing at all. I have checked all my wiring and there appears to be no problem. I live in a bungalow with the aerial situated on a 10ft pole attached to my dormer bedroom making it about 25-30 feet high. I have lived here for 12 years and have never experienced any problems at all even after the digital switchover.
There is some building and road widening going on about a mile away but this has been going on for some time and there are no new high rise buildings.
The weather is very sunny but this has never caused a problem before. Any thoughts?
