Peter Gilbert: Hi Peter G. There are no faults or engineering work at the Lark Stoke transmitter this morning of Monday 6th. June, 2016. There are, however, high atmospheric pressure conditions which can cause co-channel interference with other transmitters using the same channels that Lark Stoke uses. Unfortunately, this is down to the vagaries of our climate and weather, so all you can do is to wait until lower pressure conditions prevail, view tv online or invest in a 'Freesat' satellite tv setup. You are entitled to contact programme providers to inform them that you cannot view via the 'Freeview' platform, but I doubt they will say any more than I've said here. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help, Richard, Norwich, 11:00 a.m.

Thanks for the info Richard. I've just tried re-tuning again and all is back to normal.
At least I know what to do next time.
Best Regards
