Brian Halsey: Rescanning for channels was the worst thing to do as you have now deleted several channels which were previously correctly tuned, making it much harder to track down the cause of the problem. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted coverage etc.

Katy: According to another poster on the Beecroft Hill DAB page, the top section of the transmitter mast has been removed, presumably in order to have it's antennas replaced, hence the transmitter is off air. Retuning was a bad idea as you've now deleted all of your channels which were previously tuned correctly. You will need to retune again later on once the transmitter is back on air in order to restore your channels (the work should be completed by the time it gets dark).

Lee Goldstraw: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide 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. Do not attempt to retune.

Bryan Clegg: According to Digital UK, some channels changed frequency at the end of last month (this website has no connection with the transmitter company or any broadcaster) although that was 27th February (there was not 29th Feb this year). Depending on your exact location (please provide a full postcode) your TV may have picked up a weak signal from another transmitter when retuning. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Do not attempt to retune when you have a weak signal as this will just make the problem worse.

Edwin modu: If you're complaining about a program broadcast on Yesterday then you should contact the channel via their own website, as this website has no connection with any broadcaster and they will not see your comment here.

Vivienne Legge: This website has no connection with the transmitter company or any broadcaster. The Midhurst transmitter does not broadcast a satellite signal, it is a terrestrial digital TV signal (satellite TV is broadcast from satellites orbiting many thousands of miles above the equator). Are you trying to receive a satellite signal from a dish or Freeview from an aerial, as your post seems to be confusing both? 4G mobile internet services are nowhere near the frequencies used by satellite broadcasts, however the mobile networks do use the 800MHz band (which used to be the top end of the UHF band used for terrestrial TV) for 4G services. Any interference caused by 4G can easily be solved by connecting a filter (you can get one for free from the at800 | 4G & Freeview | 4G interference | 4G Filters | 800 MHz website), which the engineer should have recommended if they believed that to be the cause of your problems.

gtibb: UHF channel 35 is the local mux from Crystal Palace. Digital UK are reporting that Hemel Hempstead local mux will be on UHF channel 34 from 27th March.

GeordieLad: According to Digital UK, COM4 will move to UHF channel 33 at Sandy Heath early next year. COM7 & COM8 are expected to closed from all transmitters by mid-2022. UHF channels 55 & 56 sit in what will be the centre gap of the 700MHz 5G band and is expected to be auctioned off to the mobile networks for use as supplemental downlink spectrum. Some transmitters will loose COM7 & COM8 this year, presumably because no one is prepared to pay for the costs of re-engineering them when they will only be around for another 3 years.

Gerry Walsh: Firstly, which channels are not working, the channels received via your internet connection or those received via your aerial? Anything in the 300-599 range is received over the internet, however all other channels are received via your aerial. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see which transmitter you're using, where you are in relation to it and your predicted coverage etc.

Chris Warner: FreeSports is broadcast on the COM8 multiplex from Crystal Palace, although you will need a wideband aerial rather the Group A which was commonly used for Crystal Palace in the past. If you provide a full postcode we can see what reception of COM8 is predicted to be like at your location.
