I live in the CM1 area (Chelmsford)
One TV is tuned to Sudbury and is Ok; the other tuned to Crystal Palace with a Freeview box. About a week ago I noticed I was also getting excellent quality Sudbury transmissions on the latter in the early hours of the morning (800 series channels)
Later on each day the Sudbury transmissions are removed from the channel list automatically together with Channel 301.
Am manually adding Channel 301 each day.
Presume this may be as a result of Engineers testing on Crystal Palace transmitter before the c/over.

Matt,
Thanks for reply. Sorry but didn't make things clear in my post. Both TV's have their own aerial. One pointed to Sudbury. The other (with the problem) and a Freeview box to C. Palace.
Postcode : CM1 6J* (1st 5 chrs)
(Springfield area of Chelmsford)
Believe what is happening (again today) is high quality Sudbury channels in 800 series + 301 Red button being picked up from C. Palace aerial - ? if transmitted from C. Palace for testing prior to C/over in 2012.
These then removed in early hours i/c 301. Believe Sudbury 301 overwrites C. Palace 301 in my Freeview box. Then removed when Sudbury channels removed. Leaving no C. Palace 301 in my Freeview box.
I manually add channel 301 each morning and it stays all day.

Matt,
Thanks...
Possibility it's my aerial - it's wideband and over 20 years old - so will renew if needed - problems only started a couple of weeks ago.
Doubt if I'll go for an amplifier / splitter as it will require a lot of cabling.
At 0900 today did a Auto Channel search on my "London" TV with Freeview box. Picked up 23 "East Anglia" channels in the 800 series - all Ch 41 & Ch 44 with good quality signals.
(At 11.00 the 800 series still there)
Then plugged my other TV into the "London" aerial this morning and did a new channel search. Same result as above.

Matt,
Ref. my earlier post today...
The 800 series channels on my "London" TV had been removed by 13.00 together with 301 "Red Button" - the latter I added manually.

I live in Chelmsford and like many others, lost ArqA (Film 4, Etc) on the Sudbury transmitter after latest re-tuning.
Tried re-tuning many times - no success - then lost ArqB (Sky News, Etc) a couple of days ago.
A manual re-tune said there was a "good signal" for ArqB but couldn't pick up the channels - New flat screen telly - old aerial on the roof.
Same again 1830 yesterday. Tried again an hour later & ArqB was back - still no ArqA.
Somebody must have "tweaked" something !!!

Hi folks... I live in Chelmsford CM1 area and purchased a new Digital TV to connect to my Anglia aerial (old TV pre SCART era) Reception good to excellent except for Sky News (Ch 82) which was fine for a day or two - then went on the "blink" - came back yesterday (Sat) - but on the "blink" again today with numerous coloured fuzzy lines - no sound. Any problems reported ??
