Belper
I have not been able to receive BBC channels since last Friday 4th March. I am not the only one.
What is causing the interference and how can the problem be resolved.
My postcode is DE56 1TY.

All:
There is a major retune event on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air overnight and the multiplexes PSBs1&2 move to new UHF channels. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours and may not be back on air until late morning or early afternoon.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; C33, C48, C36;
People will need to retune and a Group K aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of all multiplexes.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).
