You may have noticed the post before yours which states that the transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering, so interruptions to service or periods of reduced power can sometimes be expected.
If you lost signal or had badly pixellated pictures, I hope you didn't retune. - you can't tune to signals that aren't there or can't be decoded, the usual result is to just clear the correct tuning or sometimes tune you to very weak signals from another transmitter which eventually disappear.
If you still don't have the BBC channels, try a MANUAL retune of UHF channel C48 if the SD channels are missing and/or C36 if it's the HD channels.
If your set has automatic retuning that it does when it loses a signal, then turn that function off, it's far more trouble than it's worth.
If you are still having problems, post back with some more detail of what you've tried, checked etc, and also a full postcode so we can check predicted reception.
