Malcolm & Roger
i don't know what aerial type i have,it was put up a few years ago now on the suggestion of the erector
as Reigate Hill although only a mile or so as the crow flies is shielded from me,
i must say it's done good service so if i have to get another aerial fitted then i guess that's what i'll do.
I have tried a couple of rescans but i'm getting virtually no signal on ch 55 or 56,
it's the loss of London live that's really annoyed me,if the info i've seen is correct the local service should have moved to c35 which i would have thought should still be available to me.

Thanks StevensOnln1
unfortunately i don't think i qualify for a freebe aerial as i also have Freesat,
mind you as far i can see London Live isn't a channel that's available unless you have Sky and a card.

Does anyone know what frequency the Local network (previously on C29)has moved to ?
the guide on here for frequency changes over time removes any reference to it after March 21st

Thanks StevensOnln1
Having checked a few pics out online I'm fairly certain now that my aerial is a type A,
now i may have got this completely wrong but i would have thought it would be capable of receiving C35

Malcolm Dixon,
a very good point and it's the reason i've decided to do nothing until there's some firm info where these frequency's are going to re-allocated (if at all)

Peter & Les
I'm in Reigate and have a dual aerial setup from Midhurst and Crystal Palace,
i also have two Panasonic recorders and both have the recording issue on the HD channels from Midhurst,
i find that manual recording doesn't work either,so lord knows what's going on lol
Thankfully the recordings from Crystal Palace are all working without issue,so to my mind it's a Midhurst problem.
Mind you, Crystal Palace has it's issues as my group A aerial won't pick up all the available muxes now,
and apparently as i have Freesat i don't qualify for a free aerial upgrade.
Not a happy bunny,good luck with your problems.

Charles.
i'm not sure what they changed on Midhurst ch 29 yesterday but i was getting 70-80 % power and good quality
now it's down to 25% power and zero quality,i can't wait to see what future "improvements" may bring

Mike B,
yes it's definitely Midhurst, tbh i've given up with getting my head round it,
thankfully my other aerial is on Crystal Palace and although it's a group A i can still get a good signal on most of the Muxes,i've lost ch 55 & 56 so no extended HD coverage but there's no way i'm forking out on another aerial until they've finished with all the changes.

MikeP,
i may have to go that route at some point,
i'm concerned that as i'm partially shielded by a hill and large trees a wideband wouldn't give me enough gain,
especially on the local mux @43kw

Reigate RH1, rooftop aerial
I was getting a full service from c/p,now today post retune there's no BBC News hd,BBC4 hd,London live and a few others,so annoying as i'm getting 9 signal and 10 quality on the channels i can still get.
Does anyone know if there's a solution
