Sue Bellringer: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see the predicted coverage at your location.

Llew: Sony swapped some of their channels around yesterday, resulting in Sony Crime now becoming an overnight placeholder on Freeview 60. It is still available full time on satellite currently.

John Robinson: There has been no announcement of a switchover to DVB-T2. This was proposed by the government in 2011, however Ofcom's current stance is that it is up to the broadcasters and multiplex operators to decide when they wish to switch to DVB-T2 (Arqiva have previously suggested that they would consider switching one multiplex in 2022 and the other later). There has been no announcement of what will happen to BBC Four HD or any of the channels currently carried on COM7 or COM8 (nor is there any firm date for the closure of these muxes).

GeordieLad: COM8 is on UHF channel 56 at Sandy Heath (it has never been on 52). I'm not aware that there have been any recent LCN changes for any channels broadcast on COM8. Check for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV, then try manual tuning.

David Moir: It's impossible for anyone to say whether there is a known fault as you haven't said where you are or which transmitter you're using (please provide a full postcode). Also, retuning will never fix a fault like this as your TV was already correctly tuned (by retuning you're just deleting the channel list and searching for them again, which can often make the problem worse). Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?

Geoffrey Davies: BBC News HD & BBC Four HD are on the COM7 & COM7 multiplexes, which are broadcast from the Fenton transmitter on UHF channels 55 & 56. You will need a wideband aerial as all other muxes broadcast from Fenton are at the lower end of the UHF band so most properties will have perviously used a Group A aerial which is not designed to receive the frequencies now in use at the top of the UHF band.

john grensinger: Try asking the channel, this isn't their website and they are unlikely to see your comment here.

Brian Newcombe: There's nothing anyone on this website can do as no one here has any connection with any broadcaster or the transmitter company (Arqiva). There are further frequency changes due at Mendip on 15th and 19th June so perhaps the additional mux will be switched off on one of those dates.

Dan: BBC Four HD timeshares with CBeebies HD. Quest HD is also on COM8 which you could use to check. Bare in mind that you will need a wideband aerial for reception of COM7 & COM8 from Fenton.
