Imogen Clout: Since your post, a transmitter engineering notice has appeared for Ferryside stating that the transmitter is currently off air. This is likely due to a fault as there have been no recent notices of planned engineering work. Do not attempt to retune, just wait and your channels will return when the transmitter is fixed.

Imogen Clout: Hi,Imogen. To which signal do you refer...Freeview Television or Digital or Analogue Radio? Furthermore, we can only really assist you if you tell us your approximate location, for example by stating the first three or four characters of your postcode or by describing the location of a nearby shop, garage or community centre relative to a road which has a classification number or a street name.
