Faversham

Loss of signal in ME13 area

For the last couple of days Ive lost nearly all the channels, somethimes they are there when I get in from work, but are gone again by 8ish in the evenings. Cant get any ITV channels, 4, 5, more 4, E4, (but i can get e4 + 1), 5*, 5usa, quest, challenge.

Is this due to atmospherics? Thought the digital signal was supposed to stop this happening??

Lee: Please see What is the Inversion Effect and why does it effect my Freeview TV reception?
| ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
- the problem will stop when you have full power on the commercial multiplexes in September, and better still when the analogue network is closed down at the end of 2012.
