Sorry, I had forgotten to mention that if you get your signals from Belmont, it is currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Possible weak signal", not that that would have any effect on reception of Notts TV!

Updated information - The Waltham transmitter has been on Planned Engineering with "Possible weak signal" which would likely affect your reception of the Local multiplex if your aerial is pointing at Waltham (roughly SSW of you).

We have "no signal" on our tv's since yesterday morning. We have tried clearing the tv's by following your instructions for freeview reset procedure, but it has made no difference. Any advice please.

If you are receiving signals from the Belmont transmitter (I can't be certain as you haven't provided as full postcode), the transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Possible weak signal".
If the signal you get isn't that strong, that can appear like No signal. When you retune in such circumstances, generally it just clears all correct tuning. The general advice is NOT to retune when you have no or pixellated signals, you should only do so when prompted by on-screen pop-ups (turn off any automatic retune/updates in your tuning settings - it's usually more trouble than it's worth.)
You will have to repeat retune when the signals are back to normal, you may have to try several times.

We have lost the channels that are on com 7, C55 from the Belmont transmitter and it appears that this has been given over to 5g. Are the channels being reallocated to a different one or have we lost them forever?

Glen Wood: COM7 on UHF channel 55 is still broadcasting from Belmont, no closure date has yet been announced and the 700MHz spectrum auction hasn't taken place yet (the auction has already been delayed from last year and may potentially be delayed again due to the current lockdown). Do you get any signal strength and quality readings for C55? The Freeview checker predicts poor reception for COM7 from Belmont at your location, which is showing overlapping coverage from several other transmitters, so reception of COM7 may well be limited by interference at your location.

Glen Wood:
As per my post immediately before yours (bottom of p81) Belmont has been on Planned Engineering this week, so that may account for your loss of signal. IF you retuned when there was no signal it will most likely have cleared the correct tuning and you'll have to try again when signals are normal BUT also note that there MAY be a brief interval of Tropospheric Ducting which MIGHT produce additional interference to disrupt signals/reception.
If you have not retuned, DON'T. Signals should return to normal in due course.

Thank you for your assistance Chris but I'm now thinking it might be the Philips TV that is having trouble with these channels, I have tried a smaller JVC that receives the channels but will persevere with the Philips. The other half wanted to watch the snooker on ForcesTV which is what highlighted this problem in the first place.

Hi,
I'm going to leave this for now, after further digging the Philips TV can't register a signal for Ch64 Freesports whereas the JVC can.
Thank you for trying to help.
