I swear I was getting COM4/SDN (the one with 5*/5USA) earlier, but now its gone. Am I going mad?

revs: You are not predicted to get it from this transmitter until next year, you can get it from Ridge Hill, however.

Hello - based in WR4 0DJ, with Bromsgrove signal. Aerial is in the loft (which I'd imagine is going to be prime culprit for attack!)
Before switchover today, we had the channels on (what is now) BBCA and ArqB; today, we have a net gain as we now have all the BBCA, D3+4, SDN and ArqA channels. However ArqB is totally gone in its new position. Is this something expected, based on the new multiplex channels? It's only a pity because we used to like having ITV4 and Yesterday!
Apart from that, the signal isn't too shoddy considering; though it seems to go "blocky" every half an hour or so, which seems oddly like a pattern. Nothing that could cause interference in the house, though, so can't quite work out why.

Hello, we are in Droitwich using the Bromsgrove transmitter and have lost many channels today on retuning. The only station we had problems with before the first retune the other week was BBC4. After which BBC4 was then fine but there was then some break up on ITV3, 5* & 5USA.
Now, I have gone through the manual retune procedure given in tvretune.co.uk. Incidentally TVRetune indicates we should have good reception all round at the moment. Groups 1,2&4 seem fine but we have no reception on Groups 3 & 5 -channels 33 & 34, with no signal for most stations such as ITV3, 5* or Film4 ITV4.
This applies to both set top boxes served by one roof aerial with boosters as previously was the case. I would appreciate any advice, cheers.
