richard, both sutton coldfield (birmingham) and nottingham (waltham/kimberley) are suplied from an aerial and not a dish. if you are watching tv using a dish the switchover does not affect you mate. if its the aerial you are using then local news and weather should be from your area (nottingham) or not (sutton coldfield)

lee, i would take it that the central tv you recieve is east midland rather than west midland. some reports are reading that waltham will need a retune in april, where as all reports state nottingham will need a retune. both transmitters will show the same local news. if you lose channels, retune

Hi, we seem to have lost all of our digital channels and have checked through the various FAQ type articles on this excellent site, unfortunately none of them have fixed the problem.
We retuned on the 6th after a message was displayed on screen, at this point we lost most channels although we still had BBC4 at this point. In late March we lost the ITV group of channels (they were available, but blocky/interference), re-tuning at the end of March restored our full list of channels.
Last night (7th April) we found that all channels had disappeared and retuning found no channels or radio stations.
I'm pretty sure that the aerial is pointing at the Nottingham transmitter.
NG2 4JW, Humax HDR-FOX T2 1.02.07.
Thanks in advance.

Brian: Nothing has changed at Sutton Coldfield, please see Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

Richard: You might need to have your aerial checked, but I would wait until Wednesday just to see if the "final switchover" configuration at Nottingham fixes the problem.

Thanks Briantist, out of curiosity I tried plugging the aerial cable directly into the TV and the analogue channels were still working so I don't think the aerial is completely broken (it would be too much of a coincidence!) although you are probably talking about needing a new aerial.
I'll do a re-tune on Wednesday next week and see what happens, thanks for your help.

Briantist: Yes, I had all the normal analogue channels, 1 through 5 inclusive and definitely including BBC2. The picture quality was pretty grainy, had previously been using a signal booster for analogue TV prior to digital being available, if memory serves.
