I have lost all my channels from October the 4th 2011. I have tried all the resetting procedures listed but nothing ever seems to come back. Multiple TV's one through a box and one through native FV TV. When will the Guildford Transmitter be back up or should I change my Transmitter?

You are predicted to get a perfect signal.
Therefore:-
1: Check the aerial cable going into the first box and all the others.
2: What do you mean multiple TVs coming from one box? If all the freeview boxes connect to the RF output of one, then remove the 'middle man'for a test.
3: What's a native FV TV?
4: Guildford digital is fine, only analogue is affected.
5:Have you looked at Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ?
Sadly to provide a better response, more information is ideally required.

Understand a signal is not a guaranteed. We had one three days ago.
I mean I have two tV's one has a Freeview Box external and the FV TV is a TV with integrated Freeview. I have tried them both with multiple Anntena connections inside the house and they all act the same. Pixelated digital that is unwatchable or not there at all. This just appeared and worked fine just a couple f days ago. Nothing has happened to the external Antenna.
Thanks

I have digital freeview box attached to my TV and at times I lose reception, I do have another TV which has a built in freeview and I dont have any problems. I have a rooftop aerial which was fitted many years ago. Do I need a digital aeriel to overcome my problem.

Bruce Henderson: There is no such thing as a "digital aerial" This is a marketing tool to encourage viewers to purchase a new aerial which is suitable for digital tv reception. As you have no problems with reception on your tv with in-built Freeview the aerial you already have is obviously suitable, the reception problem with your Freeview box could either be that the box is (unusually) less sensitive than the tv tuner, is tuning in channels on a weaker transmitter, or is picking up interference on a fly lead. Also check that cables and connectors are in good order. From your reception predictions it is most likely that you are receiving the Crystal Palace transmitter, which is shown to give good reception on all muxes both now and after switchover. If your aerial is set for horizontal polarisation and pointing East check the frequencies being tuned in against those for Crystal Palace to confirm that the correct frequencies are being stored.

Can you please advise how long we are to put up with a poor signal from Guildford. We bought a new Digital TV and it is so bad,we have bought a set top box to drive it. As we are pensioners, this is money we could well do with keep, especially at Christmas.
