Stephen & Adrian Crafter: The first frequency change at Oxford took place this morning, which COM5 moving to UHF channel 31 and COM7 moving to 55 (they were previously the other way around).
Adrian Crafter: You appear to have entered an Edinburgh postcode into this website at some point (going by the links which have appeared under your post).

Judith holloway: There are no reported problem with any of the transmitters covering your location. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? The current bad weather certainly could be causing the problem, although it is far more likely that your aerial system is being attacked by the weather rather than the transmitter.

Richard: Try manual tuning on UHF channel 55. If that doesn't restore COM7 channels, please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage following today's frequency changes.

Jane Gater: Dave is on the COM5 multiplex which moved frequency at Mendip yesterday, so you will need to retune to restore the missing channels.
Trevor Palmer: If you are missing channels following a frequency change and retuning hasn't restored them, you should contact the Freeview Advice Line who will send some to fit a new aerial if required (free of charge if you don't have satellite or cable) - see Important changes to Freeview TV signals | Freeview

Sandi: Because your aerial is pointed at Charlbury which is a Lite transmitter. According to the Digital UK postcode checker you could get far more channels if you have a new aerial pointed at the Oxford main transmitter .

Tony: There are no faults showing for Crystal Palace (as it serves most of London there would be hundreds of complaints if there was a fault). Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV and anywhere along the cable towards the aerial that you can safely access. Do not attempt to retune as this will just delete your channels and search for them again (retuning will never fix a loss of signal as the TV is already correctly tuned).

T M Cooke: Given the engineering notice that has now appeared, it would appear that work was taking place in preparation for the frequency changes taking place at Whitehawk Hill on 14th March.

Roger joesbury: Actually, according to Digital UK Ivybridge is due to have the COM4/5/6 multiplexes added some time in Spring 2019 although this is primarily to replace coverage that will be lost from Caradon Hill in some areas due to interference when frequency changes take place. I couldn't see any info on whether COM4/5/6 will use the same broadcast radiation pattern as PSB1/2/3 of if it will be directional towards one or more areas.

Bronwen Cattell: Freeview is digital terrestrial TV (there has been no analogue TV for several years) so I'm not sure what you mean about your two TVs being different. There are no faults showing for the Weymouth transmitter so you need to check your aerial system. Do you have any loose or damaged cables or connections. Does the cable from your aerial go through an amplifier? If so, check that the amplifier has power going in to it and it hasn't been inadvertently switched off or unplugged.

To all posters who have lost channels from Mendip today:
Firstly, as Mike suggests, check for any loose or damaged cables or connections as any faults in your aerial system could be preventing the channels which have moved being found on their new frequencies. If you are still missing channels such as Pick, Dave or Sky News you should contact the Freeview advice line for assistance (some viewers may need a new aerial which will be arranged free of charge if you don't have satellite or cable), details can be found at the link below:
