Joseph Bowman: covers over 1.5 million households so if there was a fault thousands of people would be complaining, so realistically there has to be a fault or somewhere at your end. Retuning was the worst thing to do as you have now deleted some of your correctly tuned , making it harder to see when the fault has been fixed. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connection behind your TV? What strength and readings do you get on the channels which are still working? Although you are 90km away Emley Moor is one of the most powerful transmitters in the country and you are predicted to receive a good signal.

Ray moorhouse: Did you receive any of the on COM8 previously? If not, it may be that your communal system needs adjusting as they often have filters fitted to block out weaker signals from other unwanted transmitters, which may require adjusting.
