KMJ,Derby: re Freeview in Frimley. Thanks for your comments. My Freeview box and TVs are all latest spec. I have a suspicion that some aerial leads could be lossy. I will wait until Hannington is at full power on all new MUXes before I investigate fully. No hurry as I have Virgin cable, but I do want to continue watching South Today (BBC 1 South not on the Guildford hub)

Gh: For the ITV, Ch4, Ch5 etc. manually tune to 43. You will probably need to delete any existing ITV, Ch4, Ch5 etc. channels first.
Alternatively, if possible do a factory reset, pull out the aerial lead and start the scan, just before ch.40 (or about 1/3 through the scan) replace the aerial connection. This will prevent it from finding Crystal Palace channels.

chris dare: It's most likely an aerial or cabling problem. What is your postcode?
Reception on all channels will be better after the switchover is complete.

Hi andy thanks very much for the info. I am an impatient so and so but appear to have cured my short term probs with the purchase of a labgear mast head amp just below the aerial in the lof before my distribution ampt. It seems to have lifted the signal enough for now. Hope that by the end of the month i might be able to rationalise my installation a bit.
The info on the forum is really good thsnks again

Hi, we live in Fleet. Having had zero digital signal that the TV can find since we moved in; on the first switch over date we suddenly got all the BBC channels.
That was great, but today we are finding that we have zero channels again. Some people appear to have some similar problems, is there work being done and it will reappear later?

We actually live down the road in church crookham. It seems to be a blank spot as far as digital is concerned.
We had perfect signal on all the bbc channels but now have zero

tim w: The low-power digital channels had, and continue to have, a severe restriction in your direction (officially, you were actually not in the coverage area for digital). That means the power increase at switchover, as high-power services start, is not a measly 2.5x but up to nearly 400x. This may mean that you now have too much signal on the BBC multiplex.
If you have an amplifier or booster, try unplugging it or turning it down. You may find that the gain just from the aerial is too much - if so, you should try adding an attenuator.
High signals on one channel may desensitise the receiver, meaning it can no longer pick up the other very much quieter digital signals. The Multiplex 2 group should return after the second stage of switchover, on 22 February, along with the HD channels. The other channels will remain restricted until after Crystal Palace switches over - everything will be derestricted on 18 April (one group is expected to be derestricted on 4 April).
