Mrs s smith:
It could have been the recent weather , there's been a very brief period of "Tropospheric Ducting" causing interference affecting some in the south of the country.
If you had been correctly tuned, I hope you haven't been retuning, You cannot tune to signals that aren't there or can't be decoded, the usual effect is to clear the correct tuning or maybe get incorrectly tuned to weak signals from another transmitter. You then might have to try retuning several times to get your signals back to normal!
We can't check your predicted reception without a full postcode, if you continue to have problems, post back with a full postcode and some information about your aerial installation and which way it points (rough compass bearing) etc.

Did you bother to read the previous reply?
You haven't told us whether you tried to retune at the time!
In fact you've given us no additional information at all!
Have you even looked at your aerial to make sure it's still on the roof and pointing the same way as your neighbours?
