My postcode is NW1 9JN. Sky Arts has recently vanished from Freeview and complete retune has failed to bring it back. All other channels working fine, with strong signal. Why, and how do I get Sky Arts back? Call to Freeview customer service yesterday failed to explain or resolve the problem.

Guy de Jonquieres: You're only 14km away from Crystal Palace and predicted to receive a strong signal. Are you able to receive Sky Mix on LCN 11? Are any other channels missing? Sky Arts swapped places with Pick when Pick became Sky Mix, so if this is the first time you've retuned since then and you are receiving Sky Mix on 11 you should find Sky Arts on 36. It's also worth checking the 800s in case it has ended up there.

Guy de Jonquieres:
It's also worth pointing out that you are surrounded by a lot of mobile phone masts. If you are missing other channels, you may be missing a complete multiplex, which may be due to mobile mast interference.
See Channel listings for Industry Professionals | Freeview for which TV channels are carried on which multiplex.
You should have received a postcard from Restore TV, you can put your postcode in at
https://restoretv.uk/post…ure/ to check.
If you find that your are missing complete multiplexes or have reduced signal but especially reduced Quality which should always be 100% (check in your TV tuning section), then you may be advised to contact Restore TV for a Free Filter.
