Steppy: Sony Classic Movies is carried on the local TV multiplex, which is broadcast from Mendip, but only in the direction of Bristol and some of the surrouding areas.

Bryan Mitchell: Jazz FM is broadcast in DAB+ on the SDL National multiplex, which is not broadcast from any transmitter near Inverness. If you are intending to listen via a hifi system or you may be better off listening online or via satellite anyway.

Robin Wise: Which make and model of TV do you have? When you say room extenders, what make and model of product are you actually using?

Kevin Gledhill: Emley Moor broadcasts to over 1.5 million homes and is also Arqiva's main transmitter monitoring station, so it is unlikely to be the transmitter cutting out. What is far more likely is that something in your home (or nearby) operating on a timer is switching on at 11:56 each day and causing a brief spike of electrical interference.

Andrew Salmons: You should definitely be able to get BBC 1 HD, BBC 2 HD, ITV HD, Channel 4 HD, Channel 5 HD and CBBC HD (which are broadcast from every transmitter) on your BT YouView box. Do you get these channels if you connect the aerial direct to your TV? You will need to retune if you were receiving a different transmitter at your previous address.

Cap'n'bob: How close is the monitor to the aerial cable? HDMI cables (particularly those with poor screening) are a well known source of electrical interference, particularly in the UHF band, presumably other similar/compatible cable types are also capable of causing the same impact. You may find that moving the offending cable and keeping it away from the aerial cable is enough to resolve the problem, or if that isn't practical it may well be worth replacing it with a higher quality properly screened cable (ignore anything about gold plated connectors, it's the foil and/or braided screening around the cable that's important).

Eileen Brown: As you've been having a problem for several weeks, which nobody else seems to be reporting, you most likely have a fault somewhere at your end. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV and make sure that the aerial cable is kept apart from any HDMI cables (which are a common source of interference if they are not well screened).

Peter Watson: Subtitles are part of the broadcast and are always recorded as part of the programmes, they would not be affected by any maintenance work at the transmitter. Which make and model recorder do you have? Have you checked the settings in case you managed to inadvertently turn the subtitles off?
According to ITV's website, an S icon should appear at the start of the programme when watching on ITV Hub, which you can select to turn subtitles on or off.

Oliver: Group K aerials aren't designed to receive UHF channel 55, you would need a Group T or W wideband aerial, although as COM7 is only licenced until next year it may not be worth the cost of replacing your aerial. The GIM mux is no longer on C57, it moved to C27 as part of the 700MHz clearance.

Mike Gibbs: This website doesn't have any employees, it is an independent technical help site which has no connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company, or anyone else in involved in the running of Freeview. The owner of the website posts under the name Briantist, all other contributions are from individuals who have volunteered their own time to try and assist others.
The transmitter engineering notifications come from a feed provided by BBC Engineering, which only carries reports of faults and planned maintenance affecting BBC services, so it is unlikely a fault on the PSB2 multiplex would appear unless it also affected PSB1 or PSB3.
You have given the link for the Hastings transmitter page, not the Hastings Old Town relay which is the page you have actually posted on. C22 is the PSB3 mux from the Hastings transmitter, the Hastings Old Town relay has PSB3 on C48 as shown on this page.
