We've been without most of the channels for a day and a bit now. Rh1 area (Crawley) pointing at Crystal Palace.
Normally reception on 1-10 is fine but it's just not there today. comes back now and again for brief periods. Anyone know what's happened or where to log a fault? EVERYONE in my street on Freeview and people I know across town have the same issue. NOTHING since this morning. Web sems to indicate "no faults"

Here in Tunbridge Wells there were no freeview channels from Crystal Palace at all yesterday evening. Re-scanning picked up no London frequencies. Some still missing this morning.

Crawley RH10, my Freeview signal has also disappeared from MUX 1, 2 and B.
I am glad to hear it is not just me but no sign of a resolution is bad news.

Hi Have tried all the resetting procedures but no luck. Signal just comes and goes on ITV, Channel 4 and 5 for the last 2 days. BBC channels are not as bad. Anyone know what is happening? Am in the RH11 area of Crawley.
Thanks

Frank: The unusually good weather is resulting in transmissions from the continent and some parts of the UK to travel further than normal due to the Inversion effect. This has resulted in reception being blocked in some areas, with Crystal Palace, Sandy Heath and Belmont frequencies in particular being affected. The situation is predicted to improve later this afternoon and over night, but ducting could recur later tomorrow and over the weekend.

Not the wrong type of weather excuse ....please. Leave that one for the rail companies. Usually bad weather is blamed but that's a new one - too much good weather!!
Bet it's some technical reason that will never be admitted. By the way it's easier to get blood out of a stone than get any useful information about the status of TV service in your area.
