derrick: The digital reception coverage areas are designed to match those of the old analogue system, no provision was made to extend the coverage.

I have suddenly lost all my freeview and analouge channels with effect from 29/03/2013. I have two different TV's which have built in freeview in seperate rooms and I live in a small block of flats. My postcode is IP1 1EY.

Anyone else having issues?

Jay: I should think that the likely answer is the communal aerial system, particularly if the two rooms have their own wall sockets rather than you extending the lounge outlet to the bedroom.
