StevensOnln1: Thanks Steve and Chris. I'll check for a phone mast issue (not the first time here, we had a new filter 3 years ago) but BBC Channels -TV and Radio - are all on and excellent reception. None of the commercial channels broadcasting at all. I did retune initially and have retuned daily but no joy, and another set I have which wasn't retuned is still not getting ITV etc. I'm not alone. Lots of folk here are the same. A few can get a signal from the next nearest transmitter (Whitehawk, full Freeview) but its likely to be intermittent. Even fewer can pick up the Isle of Wight transmitter, weak signal. Because most people are on the north facing slopes of the South Downs only the Patcham transmitter works for us. Thanks again for your comments

Thanks again. FYI, I've never been able to get any HD channels here on Freeview. To get Freeview at all I need a (Wolsey 4 Way TV Signal) Amplifier. Thanks for the tip on manual tuning. From memory ( I wish I kept better records!) the aerial filter was needed because we lost BBC channels last time. I had a new aerial put in because I thought the old one had been damaged in bad weather before we realised it was a filter we needed. Duh. We do occasionally get broken reception on the Beeb when there's high pressure weather, but not recently.

Just had a call from Paul at Arquiva. Service has been restored. Just checked and it has. Thanks for everyone's help.

Hi, We've been without Freeview for 6 days now. We rely entirely n the Hollingbury/Patcham transmitter for Freeview. We only get Freeview Light, so at the best of times we only get a reduced service. Is there any update on when the works on the transmitter are going to end?
