KMJ,Derby: thanks for the link; interesting. Really is it possible that such complete loss of discrete mainstream Freeview digital transmission (ITV1, Ch4, Ch5) should/should be attributed to atmospheric conditions in this day and age?

All sorted now. The problem was a poor signal to the amplifier/splitter (rubbish in, rubbish out!). A new aerial [possibly not required as the existing one was 3 yrs old] and new cable to the amplifier has resulted in an excellent signal to all rooms. The original cable (?>20 yrs old) probably should have been replaced with a new one back in 2010 when the new aerial was installed but it wasn't.

A complete loss of ITV1, CH 4, Ch 5 and others (thus ?? loss of D3+4??) on Freeview received by Humax PVR 9300t and an LG 42 LK530T DTV bought Dec 2012. In NE3 (Newcastle upon Tyne)area. The Fenham and Pontop Pike aerials apparently have no problems. Multiple re-tuning & re-setting with and without the aerial connected as advised plus checking software, (no new software updates available) does not solve the problem. Other signal strength & quality 100% eg Ch 58 BBC2. We had a new antenna & new cables last year so all technically OK. All other progs receive OK tho' Fim4 is stuttering today. Hot sunny weather yesterday (85F!!) and cooler cloudy today (65F) so NOT weather dependant.
