Please don't shout! All capitals is regarded as shouting.
There are no reported problems at the Limavady transmitter. You should investigate your aerial system as that may have a faulty/poor connection. Also check with your neighbours to see if they have the sam problem with Freeview.
If, by retuning, you have picked up a different transmitter then look at the top of this page for the channel numbers used at Limavady and manually retune to those only - do not do an auto-tune as that will possibly lose your channels again. (You should never do a general retune if a few channels are lost.)
