Collette Murphy: The Licence Fee does not guarantee reception of signals and it does not provide support with reception issues.
If you are using a television receiver, then by law you must have a TV Licence. If you sell all your receivers, then you can stop paying your TV Licence.

Collette Murphy.Unless you leave a full postcode or nearby location as such,we cannot be of valuable assistance to you.
As for your last sentence,everybody who receives television viewing equipment whether it be the TV itself,video or digital versatile disc recorder even the personal computer and mobile phone,etc,still have to pay the licence fee whether they view it all the time or not at all.Absurd it may be but that is the law im afraid,i myself dont watch much TV but i still have to pay for my own TV licence,whether i like it or not.
If you want to avoid paying the TV licence fee then you will have to ditch all TV viewing equipment altogether,not just the TV.

Some channels coming back now. Itv1, more 4 seem to be working probably a few others. Without knowing what is on each mux, I guess we lost some of these.

Daniel Badman,Dover.The inversion effect/atmospherics most likely was the culprit.
Or possibly too much signal as you and your neighbours reside very close to the Dover main transmitter itself !

Mux PSB1 (all digital BBC) have disappeared of the Hastings transmitter. Also local FM frequencies have gone off air (Arrow and Heart). Any ideas as to why?

Kate: If this has just happened now (in the evening), then I suggest that it isn't scheduled maintenance.
Arrow and Heart broadcast from the Hastings transmitter on 107.8MHz and 102MHz respectively.
The most common reason that a transmitter goes off the air is a power failure. The fact that TV and FM are off air makes this a possibility in view of it not appearing to be scheduled work.
BBC Reception says no problems for Hastings, so maybe it's only just happened.

Wondered if it's the weather affecting the freeview channels, as it happens when the weather is warm, thought it may have improved with the switchover, but seems not. No bbc, itv, channel 4 or 5 for large parts of the day and eve.
