Thanks for your response but I'm not being given that option. The crazy thing is that I had all those HD channels yesterday and Mendip is reporting no transmitter problems. So why would a retune make them vanish?

Dave Lindsay. I'm on the fringe of the Mendip transmitter in the Forest of Dean. The aerial points at Mendip - the only other possibility being Wenvoe, but that's in a different direction and I definately pick up only Mendip (no Welsh). The TV doesn't have a built in booster but there is a masthead amplifier feeding 2 TVs. If I switch that off all signal strengths diminish especially HD. But with it on all signal strengths are 100%, as was C33 until 2 days ago.
Maybe Mendip has reduced power for C33, although they don't admit it.
Maybe I have an aerial problem - strangely coinciding with the retune???
Maybe I'll say "sod it" and live with what I've got.

Yesterday the TV screen said a retune was required. I have now lost all HD channels from Mendip transmitter on C33 and a manual tune says there is 0% signal on C33. Before the retune I had all C33 hD channels at 100% signal strength. Does anybody know what's going on?
