Malcolm Campbell: Because 2,200 homes won't give the commercial broadcasters enough extra viewers to make the cost of providing their channels worthwhile. There are around 80 full service Freeview transmitters which broadcast the main 6 multiplexes and cover around 90% of UK households. To reach 99% coverage of the 3 PSB muxes requires over 1,000 additional transmitters so it just wouldn't be profitable for the commercial broadcasters to expand their coverage further. If you want more channels look at getting Freesat, which nowadays has nearly all of the channels available on Freeview plus various others for a one off cost and no ongoing subscription.

Jane: The last analogue TV services closed down in 2012. Do you mean that some of your Freeview channels are missing? Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?

Graham Low: Firstly, are you within the coverage area (please provide a full postcode)? That's Solent is only broadcast from the Rowridge transmitter, directionally towards Southampton.

James Kellam: Every Freeview transmitter broadcast some HD channels on the PSB3 multiplex. What model of Panasonic DVD recorder have you purchased? Does it have a manual tuning function?

Nesta: The Sky Sports channels are pay TV services and therefore are not available on Freeview. Have a look at Now TV where you can buy Sky Sports passes which allow you to stream the Sky Sports channels via your broadband connection for a day, week or month.

Peter Draper: Engineering work rarely takes place overnight, particularly during bad weather. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Is the aerial still pointing in the same direction as those on neighbouring properties? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted signal strength and where you are in relation to the transmitter etc.

Karen: Until the engineering work is complete (most likely before it gets dark). Do not attempt to retune.
