My freeview has been out for 6 days, no channels whatsoever and nothing picked up on a separate portable aerial. I live in West Lynn, Kings Lynn and have never not been able to get a single channel. Have cancelled TV licence for the time being. I don't think it's an aerial issue as the usually trusty portable also failed to pick up a single channel and it ALWAYS picks up at least a couple of BBC channels. Don't really know who to call aside from TV engineer to come and diagnose the problem. ..

Lucy mendonca: There are no faults showing for the Kings Lynn transmitter but if you provide a full postcode we'll be able to see which transmitters serve your exact location, predicted signal strength and your distance from the transmitter etc. Have you checked whether any of your neighbours are experiencing the same problem? I'm not sure why you think cancelling your TV Licence will achieve anything as it is a licence to receive television broadcasts via any method, not a subscription to receive any particular transmissions.

Lucy mendonca: Kings Lynn was off air due to a power failure for one day last week.
I will hazard a guess that, despite every warning not to - you retuned your TV while the fault was present, and havent retuned again since

A. Nimmo: Wow, how lucky you are that out of the majority of East Anglia on the 18th, including the TV transmitter site, you actually had power! There were hundreds of power outages across the region that day, including the vast majority of the Kings Lynn area, including the transmitter. Roads were blocked by fallen trees, children off as schools closed, and the emergency services stretched to the limit, and the electricity company engineers working their rears off to restore power, first to vulnerable people.
But im sure they are most humbly appologetic that you had to suffer a few hours without telly. But at least you could light and heat your home, unlike so many others.

Postcode PE30 4ST. The past two days there has been problems with BBC 1 and BBC 2. One minute there is a great picture, the next the picture breaks up and then the message 'No Signal' and then its back to normal. Why is this? I have retuned several times.

Stewart Wicklow:
According to the Digital UK Coverage Checker, at your location you are unlikely to get any decent signals carrying Angklia services, see Coverage Checker - Detailed View
The best source is Belmont in North Lincolnshire, but all the transmitters that carry Anglia services are shown as variable or poor.
In addition, the current high pressure is causing signal reception problems across the country.
Check that your aerial is a wideband type and that all the connections are in good condition. Unplug and refit all coaxial plugs/sockets.

Lynne: The power of the Kings Lynn transmitter was effectively boosted 4.5 times at digital switchover in 2011. In 2018 the power was doubled again.
At switchover there were changes to transmitters in Norfolk to improve coverage in the area. Tacolneston, King's Lynn other relay transmitters along the north Norfolk coast also got an increase in power. Tacolneston got a taller mast which also improved coverage.

Lynne:
As you haven't given us a full postcode, we can't look at your predicted reception to see if you may have a choice of better reception from other transmitters.
If you have just started having reception problems then it could be the current weather conditions -
High pressure impacting TV & Radio services across large parts of the UK - 11 January 2024 | Help receiving TV and radio
High pressure could affect reception across parts of the UK this week | Freeview
Do NOT retune as it'll probably just clear your correct tuning.
If you have retuned and lost all your correct tuning and need further help, post back with your full postcode and which direction (rough compass bearing) your aerial points in, and whether its rods (or squashed Xs) are vertical or horizontal.
Other than that, in answer to your question, the answer is No. If there are any engineering works.at other times, then then your reception may not be as good as normal.
