I live in Church Crookham GU52 6LY , and experience a complete outage of ITV signals every Friday evening until Monday AM since early March

From Mondays to Fridays the reception is excellent

I have retuned both my sets and settop boxes every time but to no awvail. The recorder simply cannot work during these shut offs.

Please expedite a proper repir and restore service. ASAP

David: Firstly, retuning is the worst thing to do when you loose signal as you are deleting all your correctly tuned channels and just searching for them again, which will never fix anything. Also, no one on this website has any connection with the transmitter company or any broadcaster. If you are loosing signal at the same time each day/week then you are almost certainly suffering with local electrical interference from some piece of equipment either within your home or nearby which is only operating at the weekend. It's very unlikely the be anything at the transmitter as there would be hundreds of people complaining if they lost ITV every weekend.

Hi
Over the last couple of months my 2 TVs that run off the roof aerial regularly have pixelated screens/ no signal in the mornings. By mid/late afternoon the signal is back and the viewing fine. All channels are affected in the mornings apart from That's Hampshire - a local channel, which continues unaffected. I think we get our signal from the Hannington transmitter. My post code is RG26 5ax.
Do you have any suggestions about what is happening and why? We are totally puzzled.

Sarah: If the problem is happening at the same time every day then you are most likely suffering from electrical interference being caused by something in your home (or a near neighbour) operating on a timer.

phil mcnaughton: If you mean UHF channel 62, that would be a 4G signal from one of the mobile networks.

I am in RG24 8XY
I have a new Humax FVP-5000T which I have retuned after getting a message that Quest was moving from channel 12 to channel 37. However it now has Quest on 801. I have retried several times with the same result although reception is fine. I have noticed a couple of other differences, e.g. I have:

Quest 801
DMAX 37
Home 42
absent from list 25

but your website lists:

no listing for 801
Quest 37
DMAX 42
Home 25


Am I tuned to the wrong transmitter or is there another explanation?

Roelof Pasop: That sounds like your Humax box has failed to pick up the recent LCN changes correctly. You should have Quest on 12, Dave on 19, Yesterday on 25, DMAX on 37, Home on 42 (the channel listing on this website doesn't seem to have been updated yet). Make a note of any planned recordings, then unplug the aerial and do a full channel scan which should leave you with no channels, then reconnect the aerial and do another full scan which should result in all of your channels being on the correct number.

Well True Entertainment has gone from 61 but my TV can't find it anywhere else!
Maybe they are only halfway though todays pointless LCN juggling excercise?

Brian Gregory: True Entertainment and True Movies have moved to the local TV mux. If you can receive one of the local TV stations on LCN 7 or 8 then retuning should give you True Entertainment on LCN 48 and True Movies on LCN 50.
