There has been some engineering work done on that transmitter yesterday and tody. Retuning was a bad idea as you now have no idea of when the signal returns! I suggest a retune every hour until they do return.

My Signal strength has reduced to around 35% but is not constant. My Post Code is DE6 2DL
It is normally much better than this
The Aerial is located on the chimney stack of the house

Robert Wsthall:

Is you aerial pointing at the Ashbourne relay - rods vertical & pointing NE - where you will only get the 3 main PSB multiplexes OR is it pointing S with the rods horizontal at the Sutton Coldfield transmitter where all multiplexes are available?
If it's pointing at Sutton Coldfield there is Planned Engineering work this week with "Possible weak signal". This is probably in advance of a power increase to one of the Local multiplexes on 30th October (UHF channel 48).
No other multiplexes are changing and I doubt you'll be able to get that local multiplex even with the increase in power from 10kW to 15kW.
