DAVID BRANSBY & Vicki Cawthorne: There is engineering work taking place at Bilsdale this week. Resetting/retuning was a bad idea as you may have now deleted your list of correctly tuned channels, so you will therefore need to retune again once the signal returns. Retuning is the worst thing to do if you suddenly loose signal and will not fix the problem in most instances.
