Andy Lewis: Mux 1 (BBC digital channels) now gone. BBC One and Channel 4 analogue are back on, as is ITV1 on C33. They may still come and go until 6am.

I'm confused about the aerials - I only use a portable one plugged into the back of my tv and another plugged into my freeview dvd player/recorder.
Will these not be good enough anymore? I'm unemployed so having to fork out for new aerials isn't going to happen if they need to be expensive ones.
ps - I can only get BBC 1 on analogue - had re-tune before reading this after BBC 1 just vanished - no BBC 2 at all.

hi Sharon, Time to retune your freeview box to receive all bbc services. Enter 'MENU' on remote control, then 'INSTALLATION' or 'TUNING MENU', then 'AUTOMATIC SEARCH'.(check set top box Guide for instructions).

Yipee, the problem that nobody, including M & S TV experts, could answer has been solved.
After todays upgrade at Crystal Palace, all my radio stations have returned (retuned) to the 700 series numbers.
