Jan Knights: If you're receiving the High Wycombe transmitter (approx 1km away on a bearing of 294 degrees) it uses UHF channels 31, 32 and 37. You're also predicted to receive a good signal from Chepping Wycombe (approx 3km away on a bearing of 153 degrees) which uses UHF channels 40, 43 and 46. It also predicted to be possible to receive Crystal Palace at your postcode (approx 53km away on a bearing of 115 degrees) but at a lower signal strength, which uses UHF channels 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30 and 35.
If your getting a broken up picture it's very possible that the TV has auto tuned to the wrong transmitter, rather than the one the aerial is pointed at, so take a look at the direction the aerial is pointing if you can get a clear enough view of it.

Jackie Hone: Arqiva (the company who operate the transmitters) never say when the work is due to finish as it is often dependent on factors such as the weather which are beyond their control. Retuning was a bad idea as you have likely deleted all of your channels which were previously correctly tuned. You will now have to retune periodically until you get your channels back.

CHRIS JACKSON: The post above yours indicates that there has been engineering work at Heathfield this week. Unfortunately Arqiva (the company who operate the transmitter) do not give any further details or timescales for any work as it can often depend on factors such as weather conditions which are beyond their control.

Bob Reeve: Arqiva (the company who operate the transmitter) don't publish details of what the works are or a completion date, as it can be affected by factors beyond their control such as weather conditions. Patcham is a relay of Whitehawk Hill, which has also had engineering work listed for the last few weeks, which may reduce the signal being received and retransmitted by Patcham.

Poppy Johns: The Rowridge transmitter which covers most of Southampton has had ongoing engineering works for the last few weeks. Unfortunately there is no published date for the works to be completed.

Ian Forsyth: Torosay transmitter currently has planned engineering works listed, which may require the signal strength to be reduced or switched off for periods of time whilst the works are taking place. If you provide a full postcode we can see what the predicted signal strength is at your location.

StevensOnln1: I've just switched my home broadband provider and can no longer post comments on any page when using my new provider (I'm currently posting using 4G). I see the message below instead of the comment box:
Sorry, comments are closed on this page during a database upgrade.
I suspect @Briantist may need to update the site's geo-location checking, as it may not be recognising my new IP address (149.40.x.x range) as being in the UK.

Barry Fraser : You don't have any analogue channels as they all closed 12-15 years ago. All TV channels have been digital since switchover completed in 2012.The post above yours warns of engineering work taking place at the transmitter this week, requiring the transmitter to operate at reduced power whilst the works are taking place.

R F Toner: The posts above yours warn of engineering work affecting the Brougher Mountain transmitter over recent weeks. Unfortunately no details of the work are provided, nor is there a completion date given.

Guy de Jonquieres: You're only 14km away from Crystal Palace and predicted to receive a strong signal. Are you able to receive Sky Mix on LCN 11? Are any other channels missing? Sky Arts swapped places with Pick when Pick became Sky Mix, so if this is the first time you've retuned since then and you are receiving Sky Mix on 11 you should find Sky Arts on 36. It's also worth checking the 800s in case it has ended up there.
