I have suddenly lost or had a dramatic decrease in my reception the last 2 days.
Yesterday several channels where black screen and others pixels most of the time from around 4-30pm for at least an hour before i gave up and i turned the tv off because of it,
For the second day when i turned on the tv just after 4pm had little or no signal. after reset i cannot install any channels now and it is now.

Ayshea Perring: Hi, Ayshea. Perhaps you didn't know that there were engineering works taking place on the Lowestoft Freeview Lite transmitter from about half-ten in the evening on Monday 6th June through to early hours of the morning yesterday. What has made things worse is that there has also been atmospheric interference since Sunday evening. If you did a factory reset or first-time installation when you "reset" your receiver it will have forgotten all of the channels it used to get, and if your "reset" didn't re-install your channels, perhaps you tried to do it when the engineers were still working on Lowestoft. I am afraid, therefore, that if you are still not getting any channels, you need to do yet another first-time installation now that the engineers have finished working on the Lowestoft transmitter. You should then find you have all your channels back again. Incidentally, why do you use the Lowestoft transmitter rather than Tacolneston near Attleborough, because that is much, much more powerful and transmits a lot more channels giving you much greater choice of programmes to watch! Richard, Norwich.
