Wayne collard & derek: There was engineering work taking place overnight which was completed by 6am. Given that this was planned work accompanied by onscreen warnings, your remarks both seem a little excessive.

J Chapman: There was engineering work taking place overnight. You may need to retune to restore your channels if any are missing, as some services have now changed frequency.

Cathereine Forsey: Until the engineering work is completed, probably some time later this afternoon. Do not attempt to retune.

Gordon: Updating this website is down to the owner (Briantist) who unfortunately doesn't seem to have been able to keep track of the many recent changes across the transmitter network. Putting your postcode into the Digital UK coverage checker and ticking the detailed view box will give you all of the current and planned future frequency changes affecting your area.

michael ward & Aer: As per my post above yours, there are engineering works taking place today. Do not attempt to retune, your channels will return when the transmitter is switched back on.

John Robinson: COM7 & COM8 are both broadcasting at 15.8kW according to Digital UK. If you don't already have a wideband aerial you may well find reception of COM7/8 more difficult as they are about as far out of band compared to most of the main muxes as it's possible to be.

Bidge: Make a note of any planned recordings, then unplug the aerial and do a full retune/rescan which should clear your channel list (if it doesn't, try a factory reset). Then reconnect the aerial and retune again which should give you a complete channel list with fresh tuning data.

stuart craig: If the channels are present on your set top box then there is nothing to be fixed at the transmitter. Does your TV have the HD channels at 101-105 when using the inbuilt tuner? At a guess your set top box has a newer DVB-T2 tuner which allows it to receive HD channels and the TV's inbuilt tuner does not. Model numbers will help to confirm.

Aer: As above, it will be back on when the engineering work is completed. No one on this website has any connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company and we therefore have no further information on any ongoing engineering work.

clive walker: You don't have a digital aerial as no such thing exists (an aerial is just a piece of metal and isn't analogue or digital). Retuning will never fix a problem where the signal is too weak (or too strong) and often just makes things worse by deleting channels which were correctly tuned to begin with. If the signal really is too strong then you should try fitting an attenuator to reduce the signal strength. If you provide a full postcode we will be able to see your predicted coverage and may be able to offer more specific advice.
