Ludlow
SY8 3ED - Philips aerial inside house (flat panel aerial that incorporates a powered philips digital booster unit in it).
I was getting perfect signal from the Ludlow transmitter until the other day when all BBC channels disappeared. I've reset the TV twice now and the only one MUX it's getting is the channel 42 (ITV) MUX. Is there something wrong with the other two MUX at the moment?
