I would check that your aerial hasn't moved in recent high winds or been damaged and likewise that your coax is ok. If you have an older group B aerial you should should receive the main multiplexes ok.
You need a wideband aerial to get all multiplexes from Hannington as COMs 7&8 are on UHF 55&56 and there are local multiplexes on UHF 32&34. You will need to be in a suitable area to get reception of those and you can check your predcted reception by putting your postcode into Digital UK - Coverage checker

Have just lost HD muxes for BBC & ITV on both my Youview box and the TV's own digital tuners from Hannington. Anyone else?

In that situation you should unplug the aerial lead, perform a full retune and refit the aerial plug and perform another retune. That clears the redundant memory data and allows new tuning data to be saved afresh.

Cheers. Sorry for not replying sooner, this site had a problem with its security certificate.
My guess is that is kinda what my Youview box did on its own as it woke up to record something from an HD channel and found nothing being broadcast. Because when I went to retune again it also asked which region I was in. But worth remembering your trick for the future!

As of today, I receive nothing from Hanington.I have tried re tuning and the result was only a mixture of strong and weak signals from London.The aerial has not moved and the equipment seems to be working fine.Any explanation please?

All:
This may be a repeat post as I've tried posting this already and it's not appearing -
There are unusually high levels of "Tropospheric propagation" at present, often associated with High Pressure weather systems.
These levels of propagation are unusual at this time of year - they cause signals from more distant transmitters to travel a lot further than normal. It is currently affecting different parts of the country by varying degrees and signals can change by the second or remain stable for much longer periods.
In the old "analogue" days there was a lot of talk about "continental" interference often in the summer months, but the interference can come from transmitters anywhere in the UK or Europe and even further afield. At the moment some people are getting DAB radio from the Netherlands and FM Radio from France as well as the interference to DTV.
It is predicted to continue for a couple more days, and you are advise NOT to retune as you will likely lose the correct tuning that you had. The "propagation" can be very frequency dependent, and it can only affected one frequency or several, but it can/will be different for others.
People will however have noticed the unusually mild weather which the Met office is referring to as a "Foehn effect" but it's not helpful that it seems none of the major broadcasters were making any reference to the interference being caused to TV and Radio reception! So it's no surprise that people wonder what is going on and think there is a transmitter problem. It is now getting mentioned in some quarters!
For those that have retuned and lost correct tuning, you will have to try again and it could be hit and miss whilst the unusual propagation continues. If you are able to do a manual tune for the correct UHF channels, you may still receive interference or the wrong programmes.
