We have digital tv and a humax freeview box, a roof aerial and a 2 way aerial amplifier.
Over the last five days the signal has broken up making watching almost pointless. We reset both the tv and humax box and have restored the bbc and itv channels but not the channels above number 10 including sky news, RT and al jaziira.
There has been no reported problems with the Hastings transmitter.
Have you any advice ?
Thank you.
