M.Milliner: Have you checked for any loose or damages cables or connections behind your TV? There are no faults showing for the Kirkconnel transmitter since January, so if you are having regular problems it is likely down to either something in your aerial system or local electronic interference.

denise miller: There was a frequency change at the Kirkconnel transmitter on 19th September. If you haven't already done so you will need to retune. If that doesn't restore your channels, you should contact the Freeview Advice Line (see link below).
