Crystal Palace Transmitter, I get my signal via Downley (High Wycombe. At about 3.30am I went to check Ceefac on BBC1, the screen was completely black. I was receiving BBC2, ITV1 & CH4. I cannot get CH5 at all.I can`t check with my neighbours as they use Sky & it`s now about 5am. I retuned my TV but can now only get BBC2 & have no lost ITV1 & CH4. I wish I hadn`t bothered. I live in a small area of High Wycombe that can only get 4 terrestrial channels normally. (Since about 3.30am I`ve only had 1).

6.05am 7/2/12 As it is past 6am when the engineering work stops I re-tuned my TV & all channels 1 - 6 are in service again. Thank you for your help & information. I tried the BBC but they didn`t have a clue about engineering work being in progress & suggested that it could be high pressure or my equipment. Luckily I found your website after the BBC had let me down.
