A Buchanan: We have no way of answering that without information such as signal strength and quality. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind the TV. If it is affecting multiple TV that use the same aerial then check all the cables and connections as far as you can safely access between each TV and the aerial. Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted signal strength etc.

Brierley : Start by checking the cables and connections behind your TV for anything that may be loose or damaged. To offer any further advice we need a full postcode so that we can see which transmitter you're using, where you are in relation to it and your predicted signal strength etc.

Chris pedley: There are no faults showing. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?

Mark Lawrence : If it's been like that for a week then you most likely have a fault with your aerial system. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV.

Paul: As you haven't said where you are (please provide a full postcode) we have no idea which transmitter you're using. Having said that, a transmitter fault would usually be fixed within a few hours and it would be extremely unlikely to take a week so the problem is more likely to be within your aerial system. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV.

Bren: The frequency changes taking place at Waltham can be seen on the Digital UK checker by clicking the transmitter's postcode at the top of this page. If you already get good reception of COM4/SDN on UHF channel 29 then your existing aerial should be fine after the frequency changes have taken place as this appears to be the lowest UHF channel that Waltham will use.

D Westland: Balgownie is a low powered relay station which serves an area that does not get good reception of Durris. The commercial broadcasters are not interested in broadcasting from such transmitter (there are over 1,000 of them) which only cover a small area of population and would not produce a worthwhile return on investment. According to the Digital UK postcode checker, you could potentially receive the COM4-6 multiplexes from Durris, however this would be at a low signal strength and would likely be prone to problems. You would probably be better off looking at getting Freesat if you want more channels.

Angie: Your TV has retuned and picked up a Welsh transmiter. Some TVs allow you to select your preferred region if more than one is found whilst retuning, but otherwise you would need to use the manual tuning option available in the menu on most TVs and set top boxes/PVRs to restore BBC North West, ITV Granada and Channel 4.

Peter Ebling: Forces TV is being transmitter from Rowridge but probably at a strength either too low to receive or too high causing the tuner to become overloaded. What signal strength and quality readings do you get on Forces TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted signal strength etc.

MichaelW: If you click the DigitalUK Trade link under your post, it shows that Mendip is predicted to have a fairly strong signal at your postcode for most multiplexes (although not for COM8) although this will improve when COM8 changes frequency at Mendip next year. COM8 from Ridge Hill shows as being even weaker, although it is in almost the same direction as Malvern which probably explains how you managed to pick it up on a previous retune. Unfortunately, the coverage checker shows COM7 & COM8 from Ridge Hill at no signal after they change frequency on 1st March. In short, it looks like the easiest way to get reliable reception of channels such as Forces TV, Freesports, PBS America, BBC Four HD, etc would be via Freesat.
