Hi, I have posted here before on behalf of my daughter (who lives in Bishops Stortford) and had hoped that her problems would have been resolved after the switchover but unfortunately that is not the case, so here I am again!
She was able to get the BBC channels perfectly on 4 April 2012 after the switchover, but no ITV. After the final stage of the switchover she was able to get the ITV channels too, although not quite as well as the BBC. However, shortly after this date, she lost the ITV channels again! When she phoned the Digital switchover help line today, she was advised to retune the TV but still no ITV. She was then advised to retune the ITV channels to the Bishops Stortford relay transmitter, still without success. The mystery is why she suddenly lost the ITV channels again; could this be due to the terrible weather we have been having? The people at the helpline said it was probably due to some fault with the aerial and very unlikely anything to do with the transmitter. They also said it could be something to do with the TV itself; is this likely and how could it be rectified? Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thank you for your comments so far. It's all a bit confusing, to put it mildly! My daughter has been told that she is currently receiving BBC from Crystal Palace and the channel number would appear to confirm that. There is no problem with the BBC channels but she is unable to get any of the ITV channels either via Crystal Palace or Bishops Stortford. She has already tried keying in Channel 50, without success. As a matter of interest, is it possible to receive the BBC channels from one transmitter and the ITV channels via another on the same TV? I look forward to any further advice you may have.

Hi, am going to have to be a bit vague with my question, but would appreciate any help you could give me.
My daughter has moved to Bishops Stortford, taking a Logik Digital TV, (previously used in Worcester). She tried to set it up yesterday but could get nothing, just messages saying how poor the signals were. She has tried resetting the TV and tuned the TV several times, with no result. I notice from previous posts that there seem to have been a few problems in the South East, so was wondering if there are still problems with the signal, which will be rectified at the time of the changeover, or is it more likely to be due to an inadequate or faulty aerial? She is currently having to use the analogue signal, which is quite poor. Please help!
