reg gray: You most likely have a Group C/D aerial which is not designed to receive the lower frequency now used for the COM4 mux from the Dover transmitter. If you don't have satellite or cable you should be eligible to have a replacement wideband aerial fitted free of charge, which can be arranged by contacting the Freeview Advice Line (see link below).
