Hi Freeview Team
We have been loosing the signal on and off for the past few weeks.
We had the aerial checked and it was found to be a stronger than strong signal coming in for all channels.
We have BT Vision and until recently we have had no problems.
The current display is saying No channel found, please check aerial or local signal availability.
Press OK to start search.
The DVB Auto Set Up is showong CH21 68
Please help
Kind regards
Mike Hall

Mike Hall: This site is an independent one and not connected to any of the companies involved in broadcasting.
Bilsdale is undergoing engineering works in preparation for switchover. See the note at the top of the page.
I've never understood why Yorkies would want to watch Tyne Tees, unless they couldn't receive Yorkshire of course. I know that Bilsdale comes in strong, particularly in the north of the city, but why watch news about the north east if you don't have to?
As a fellow Yorkshireman, I want to hear about what's going on in God's Own County!
I reckon that you're on a communal aerial, so tell your landlord that the aerial needs turning to face Emley Moor!

From HG4 1UP today the Muxes were relative to the Analogue signal:-
1 -13.6dB
2 >-32db no signal resolved
A -18.2dB
B -18.5dB
C -19dB
D -30.5dB just resolved
Using a Thurlby Thandar PSA2701T Spectrum Analyser and a dipole at line of sight to Bilsdale.
I think the figures say it all, 2 and D are no good in our direction.
