michael connor: Have you checked the connections behind your TV and at your satellite dish? Do you share the dish with your neighbour?

Naila: Freeview is received from land based transmitters via an aerial, ideally situated on the roof or in the loft. An indoor aerial may be ok if you're in a strong signal area. You will still be able to receive Free To Air (FTA) satellite channels via your Sky box after your subscription ends, although you won't be able to pause or record.

H Cloutt: There are no faults showing for the Heathfield transmitter, although it is predicted to be variable at your location anyway. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Do you have an amplifier and is it still powered on? Good idea to avoid retuning as all it would have done was delete all of your channels before searching for them again and would never fix a signal problem.

Nev Jack: There are no power level changes shown for Winter Hill (according to the Digital UK checker) and you are predicted to continue to have good reception of all main multiplexes at your postcode.

Anne Roberts: Your postcode is predicted to be covered by the Dover transmitter (not Folkestone which you've posted under) although here are no faults showing for either transmitter. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Do not attempt to retune.

Mardler: No one on this website has anything to do with any broadcaster or transmitter company, therefore no one here can confirm if there was a transmitter fault unless a transmitter engineering post appears (which are sourced from a BBC Engineering feed). One thing I can say is that you're the only person reporting a problem at Tacolneston on this website today, whereas if the transmitter was completely off air there would be hundreds of people complaining. Perhaps you could explain how you know for certain that the transmitter went off air? Did you check with any neighbours if they lost the same channels as you did? What tests have you undertaken to support your claim that your aerial system is "perfect"? Have you considered that you might be suffering from some form of local electrical interference?
Also, Briantist has recently put in a lot of effort to update transmitter data (in case you weren't aware, this website is run by one person who has put in a huge amount of effort over the years and doesn't always have time available to carry out updates as quickly as people might like).

David Leard: You most likely have a fault in your aerial system, so retuning was a bad idea as you've now deleted those channels which were already correctly tuned. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? What signal strength and quality readings do you get on the channels which are still working? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted coverage etc.

Nicki Weller: There are no plans showing on the Digital UK coverage checked for any additional multiplexes to be broadcast from Aldeburgh.

Valerie Williams: Transmitter work very rarely takes place overnight as the engineers cannot see what they are doing in the dark. A more likely explanation is that you're getting local electrical interference from something operating overnight (probably on a timer).

Paul Evans: BBC World Service is broadcast on the PSB1 multiplex from every transmitter. Are you missing any of the other BBC national radio stations?
