Alan House: You will have to carry out a retune on your TV or box to update the programme guide, as Sky news on Freeview recently changed from 82 up to 132.

COM8 seems to be the same strength as COM7.
(Checked with a spectrum analyser so they really are definitely very nearly the same power).
The same for Crystal Palace.
Have the planned transmitter powers for COM8 been changed to bring them in line with COM7?

Lost all itv channels on freeview last night 26/08/2015. Even after retuning could not get them back. Is there any work being carried out on the transmitters in this area? Dave

Since the weekend I have lost audio on BBC New Channel HD (SD is fine)and Aljazera HD and maybe others in that set on the Hannington Transmitter. (RG1 2NU) Anyone else have the same trouble? I suspect there is a carrier as my tv reports 'Dual Mono' when tuning to these channels. (I suspect it is a settings problem. Shouldn't they be stereo?)

I refer to my recent email and your reply and having gone through the automatic retune procedure I still cannot get BBC stations on TV or radio. When will the maintenance work be complete? I can only receive ITV stations which is a nuisance as I do not watch these stations.
