Michael O'P - If you are using the Wrekin, they have been switching a lot of things around so hard to draw inferences. See what happens over the w/end.
If your signal is marginal it is possible that time of day, or rather conditions that change day/night, would be critical.

Brian - Wasn't meaning to imply error! From what someone posted it was a late change.

Are you getting 12 Yesterday 15 Film 4 , which are also on COM6/ARQB on Ch53 (NB Not 57 as advertised - and v-v)

Angelina - have you retuned?
If so, you should certainly have the main 5 channels.
Unless your box no longer works.
If you want advice/help; ask politely and give some information like where you are and what kit using.

Very odd. Just checked and I get it OK with the rooftop ae. Weak - but if you get one channel on a mux would expect all.
Try retuning? Or re Installing

M O'P - the weather you see may not have changed, but the ionisation of the troposphere certainly will have due to all that sunlight taking effect over time.
The basic problem is almost certainly that the signal is very weak. With analogue a poor picture would get worse/better, but digital is far more "works well"/"does not work at all". Called "the digital cliff".
You might try an aerial amplifier. The experts here will say it will only amplify noise - but experience tells me it sometimes makes a critical difference!

PD The probable technical explanation is that Channel 24 was occupied by another frequency and for whatever reason not replaced when you rescanned - but has been now.

Tony Dean - Are you using a satellite dish as well as or instead of an aerial? AFAIK there was no Freeview HD before Wednesday?
Though I do not have a HD tuner, so may be wrong.
Gary - if you were getting Freeview before you should certainly be getting it now. Sounds like the aerial is not plugged in.
Or were you just getting analogue 1-5?

They are currently doing masses of switching around of equipment and settings, so I think a degree of disruption is inevitable.

Andy - have you done a total retune?
Or tries a non-HD box?
Or asked a neighbour?
