James Carey:
As has been posted many time on various pages around this site, unfortunately the site owner has not had time to bring the details of circa 1000 transmitters fully up-to-date, this has been compounded by some bugs in the scripts which mean many transmitter pages are showing the final channel locations when the 700Mhz clearance hasn't yet been completed.
Changes for Dover (retune events) are currently scheduled to take place on the 22nd August & 16th October.
Put your postcode into Digital UK - Coverage checker to see the predicted coverage at your location & any upcoming retune events or reception changes.
Digital UK | Channel listings is generally up-to-date (but not today!)
Service Updates | Freeview is often worth keeping an eye on even if the information isn't always well explained.
John musty:
It is most likely that your problems are being caused by the current weather & propagation conditions resulting in interference from other transmitters (UK & Europe). DON'T retune as you may lose channels and have to retune again when conditions stabilise.
