Terry Reddington: Retuning is the worst thing to do when you suddenly loose signal as all you are doing is deleting all of the TV's previously correct tuning data and searching for the same channels again. Possibilities are that you either have a fault, interference, or that when retuning your TV picked up a weaker signal from a different transmitter. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV. You can check whether there are any 4G mobile masts which are likely to cause interference by contacting the AT800 organisation (see link below), who can provide you with a free filter to block out the unwanted signals if they suspect 4G interference to be likely (a 4G booster is the opposite as that would increase the strength of any 4G signals). If you provide a full postcode we can see which transmitter you should be receiving, where you are in relation to it and your predicted signal strength etc, which would enable further advice to be offered.

Carol: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see which transmitter you're receiving, where you are in relation to it and your predicted coverage etc.

Dr J E M Anderson: Smithsonian Channel is carried on the temporary COM7 multiplex which is not broadcast from Rosemarkie. You would have to ask the channel if they have any plans to move to a different multiplex with wider coverage.

Jamie Rose: Either you're not using a transmitter which broadcasts COM8, or you need a wideband rather than grouped aerial, or your TV doesn't support DVB-T2. As you haven't told us where you are or which transmitter you're using (please provide a full postcode) no one can possibly give you an accurate answer.

Paul Vivash: Blaen Plwyf does not broadcast Smithsonian Channel (nor any of the COM7 or COM8 channels).

Beverley Tennant: You're predicted to get a strong signal from the Wenvoe transmitter (only 8km away) so you may be able to get good reception with an indoor aerial, particularly if you are on the West/South West side of the building.

ian peake: None of the BBC channels have changed multiplex. You most likely either have a fault or are suffering with interference. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Another possibility is that your TV's tuner is being overloaded because the signal is so strong if you're close to the transmitter.

Ian: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV and Freesat box? Check for any signs of damage to the cables between your box and dish (as far as you can safely access).
