Alan Herman: re latter query, its very unlikely that 4G transmissions (should this mode apply anyway!) are connected in any way with your problem as COM6 (C47) would also be affected.
You should try deleting everything stored in the tuners memory system by carrying out a retune on your TV / box "after" having first of all removed the aerial connection from same, reconnecting the aerial on completion followed by carrying a second retune to load the programme channels back into the memory.
Should this action fail to resolve the situation, if your TV / box offers a "manual" tuning facility, enter C44 (658.0Mhz) into the selection box but do "not" select search or scan, as in most devices if any signal is being received the strength / quality of same will be seen on the indicator bars.
Apart from the aforementioned, if you have any HDMI cables connected into the TV/ box, make sure that the aerial lead going into the set is kept well clear of same, as radiation from HDMI cables can cause problems with reception, the interference being of a frequency selective nature, i.e: knocking out one mux channel whilst having no effect on another.
Further assistance as required.

mark withers: something in your aerial system was dying, and has now gone belly up. Might be as simple as a fallen out aerial lead, but it sounds like something more series - broken cable perhaps.

I've lost COM7 in RG1 from Hannington. Can't get BBC4HD, BBC News HD , CBS Drama or Talking Pictures. I've done a factory reset on my PVR and rescanned. All other channels seems to be okay.

Warren Swaine: Check your signal levels. If your losing muxes, its usually due to a problem with your aerial system - a frayed cable, etc. Since we tend to not notice a problem until something vanishes, its possible that the other muxes are just hanging on, but since these muxes are less powerful, they go first.

MikeB: Thanks for your help. I had never explored the manual tuning signal strength menu option before, always relying on autotune. This is what showed up:
PSB1 C45 SQ=100% SS=100%
PSB2 C42 SQ=100% SS= 90%
PSB3 C39 SQ=100% SS= 80%
COM4 C41 SQ= 60% SS= 80%
COM5 C44 SQ=100% SS= 90%
COM6 C47 SQ=100% SS= 90%
COM7 C32 SQ= 0% SS= 70%
COM8 C34 SQ= 70% SS= 70%
Unplugged aerial cable and plugged it back in again and COM7 burst back into life. Doh!
[I'd gone through the checklist, but assumed the check aerial bit only applied for "If you have lost ALL your Freeview channels". Lesson learned.]
Thanks once again.

Warren Swaine: Well, you don't have a problem with signal strength!
Actually, they are a touch on the high side - 75% is pretty much perfect, although of course that would mean killing your signal a bit, and thus hitting Com 7.
Yeap, the lose aerial lead is a classic - at least one website reckons 50% of problems are caused by them. Its probably worth swapping the cable out anyway, just in case its dodgy - they are cheap enough, and as long as they are well shielded, you don't need anything fancy.

Picture has been breaking up or no signal for weeks - this suddenly occurred and we have made no changes to our aerial which previously worked fine. The reception issue appears worse with BBC channels - we tried retuning but lost most of our other channels except for the general BBC, ITV, CHANNEL4 etc channels.

Mrs Saunders: look at the digitasl UK link at the bottom of your question (it really helps when someone puts their postcode into the site - makes life much easier) - your just 11km from the transmitter, which is very close. So there are two possibilities.
1) If your reception is that bad, then there is likely to be something wrong with your aerial system. Check signal strength (and that you are actually tuned to Hannington). If its very low to non existant on all the muxes (see the above page for which channels are on which muxes), then your system almost certainly has a major fault - probably a very frayed/corroded connection, or an aerial lead which has almost fallen out of the back of the TV, etc. Could also be a failing booster, just since your so close, the last thing you need is one of those.
Just go through each part of the system, until you narrow down what it is, and if you have no joy, you'll need to call someone out.
The second possibility is that your signal is too good. Search for 'too much of a good thing' on this site.
My bet its the aerial system, but ironically you might be fine with one of those basic indoor aerials - your that close.

Transmitter engineering: Suffered a great deal of signal loss this morning on a great
number of channels around 7.00 am . I live in postcode RG45 6DN . I do not know if the problem
was a transmitter failure or other until I get home around 7pm
