Lost signal on Tuesday please inform as to why I still am unable to receive the freeview signal this service is very intermittent and quite frankly pretty shabby having spent a lot of money on new digital television and being a licence payer over many years I can only presume the crystal palace transmitter is of very poor quality ! Otherwise this would not be occuring yours truly disappointed

I live in Felixstowe,and since June I have to keep doing a new search sometimes several times a day as I keep losing the signal. Sometimes BBC is perfect and there are no ITV programmes and sometimes the ITV programmes are very clear and no BBC. Then other times I turn on the TV and there is nothing at all but a scan brings them all back. What is the problem here? After June 2011 my reception was perfect but now it is a mess.

Pamela,
It's happened to our Pansonic DVD recorder freeview signal tonight too.I'd set it up to record Channel 4 from 8pm - 9pm and all we have is the first 3 minutes then it froze, went blank with the message at the bottom - 'no signal' and it's still the same now at 10.25pm. I've lost the ITV channels as well. Interestingly those channels are working on our two Tv's and all three devices run off the same aerial. I receive my signal from the Talcolneston transmitter. I've had problems like this before and it always and only affects the DVD. By the way, I live in Suffolk too, at Ingham just north of Bury St Edmyunds and would love someone knowlegable to explain what the problem is - should I throw away the DVD recorder and get a different one??

Since Monday this week we have very low signal, if any, on all channels and have completely lost HD. Post code is RH16 1HW (Haywards Heath). I believe we get service from Crystsl Palace. Signal has been very good up until then. The only thing that has been different is the hot weather!
Any ideas?

Having checked with the BBC Reception Test via your postcode given,there are no problems with any of the possible transmissions in your locality.
I would look up inversion effect as a likely cause !

Michael: Awful again today. The recorder had decided Crystal Palace was too weak. Even after manually retuning everything in sight, the BBC channels (from Crystal Palace) are poor and Sky News isn't there at all this evening. The digital TV is fine so it must come down to the tuner of the recorder ...
... except this had been fine for some years before the digital switchover and for a couple of months afterwards.
Now, we were sold the digital switchover on the basis that the digital signal would be better once analog was out of the way. Quite clearly at the moment it is worse than pre-switchover. Yet this site says there are no problems (at least on BBC) at Crystal Palace. Have we all been sold a pup? If I have to replace equipment that worked perfectly well pre-changeover because someone somewhere decides to weaken the signal for a couple of weeks when they feel like it, who do I sue?
Well, OK, not sue perhaps (and I'm not going to panic buy) but someone must be responsible for this mess. Are they even aware there is a problem, and who do we contatc to complain about what to my mind is a breach of trust on the digital switchover?
