Colin Wray: C23 is analogue ITV1 until switchover, when it becomes the BBCA multiplex.

One of my TVs has auto-tuned channels from CrystalPalace, Oxford, and Sandy. I know this because I have both BBC One and ITV1 from London, Central, and Eastern. My two aerials have been targeting CP and Oxford analogue very successfully for many years unchanged. Contrary to coverage predictions, my newest TV has been receiving the four HD programs no problem for 3 months (we watched the Wimbledon 3D no problem) but now they have disappeared (zero signal on C31). I see it is marked "Low Power", but so are C22 and C32 which show 100%. Do you know what has changed ?

Oh yes, and CP C34 and C29 both listed as Max power have zero signal strength while C25 is 100% (all CP). Therefore I cannot receive Mux C or D.

Colin Wray: Can you provide a full postcode please? It's impossible to say what the problem might be without knowing where you are.
