Has the signal strength been reduced for the ARQB multiplex on the Guildford transmitter? I live in GU1 3TL area and have received acceptable Freeview on all multiplexes since digital switchover. However, in the past month or so I have had limited or no reception on those channels associated with ARQB. Can you advise if this is due to changes at the transmitter, or some extraneous issue.

Tracy: Hi. I had the same late last year. All channels gone on 3 different TVs. I could get a bit of BBC1, but not much. It was the remote powered booster in the loft that had failed. Took it out of the loop and replaced with a 4 way splitter... all channels back again. The Areial engineer said I didn't need a booster anymore as the signal strength was now good from the Midhurst transmitter.
