Still no Dave, ITV4, etc. Retuned and no joy. Fault on the Sudbury transmitter? All working well since Wednesday then suddenly loads of stations disappeared tonight.

Thanks for your reply, Mark. The channel 30 thing was a red herring, sorry, my mistake. Ok, so what's happening is I lost a load of stations last week, then on Wednesday when the Sudbury transmitter was pimped up, they all came back with good picture quality, no issues, happy days. Then tonight I'm watching Dave with a perfect picture and suddenly it falls over and I've lost a whole lot of other stations. All the BBC stations and a few others (on 41 and 44) are fine with a signal quality of 8/10 but a signal strength of 4/10. I keep getting a "new dvb channel has been found" message but when I re-scan no new ones are found. I am at sea level, so get a few glitches sometimes but not experienced a complete outage like this before. Neighbours are getting intermittent problems too. It's as if the transmitter has gone back to its former low power? Anyway, appreciate your thoughts on this... cheers.

There are "No current reported problems" with the Sudbury transmitter. Oh yes there are.

Mark, thanks for your advice, appreciated. Two weeks ago and for the last few years I could get Dave, ITV4, Yesterday, Quest, etc. Sometimes these channels got a bit sketchy when we had high pressure but were always found on a scan, then they disappeared last week. No signal at all. They all came back after the Sudbury upgrade on Wednesday, then vanished again a few days later.
So that's why I suspect something has changed and it's not at my end; I have a decent aerial, checked all the hardware, rescanned, and I'm getting 90% or 100% signal quality on CH44, CH41 - all BBC stations, Anglia, ITV2, More4, E4, etc. Signal strength is only about 40% but it works fine.
What I can't get my head around is why Sudbury is giving me no issues with these channels and the rest have gone tits up! Back in the day, we just used to thump the telly when the picture went wonky...

Just suddenly lost everything on Channel 30, 8pm tonight. Other channels are fine, any ideas?
