john allsop: Your other post has appeared on a different page. I can't see any current faults listed for the Isles of Scilly transmitter. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables and connections behind your TV? Is your aerial still pointing the same way as those of your neighbours? Have you checked whether anyone else nearby has also lost signal? Do not attempt to retune as this generally deletes all of your channels and will not fix anything.
