I have been recieving very poor or no signal on the ITV channels since the beginning of May. I cannot record any ITV or Channel 4 progammes. I also have intermittant availability on other freeview channels. I can always see BBC programmes. I can also view all channels on Analog. My Post Code is OX39 4DH. I have carried out the re-set process and re-tuned the TV.

I have had exactly the same problem as Lynn for the last week or two. BBC channels on CH34 are fine and have 100% level/quality. Ch29,48,51 and 52 are fine too, but not quite 100%. CH68 (for ITV1 and Channel 4) is hopeless though, often being unwatchable. I am at SN3 3PN. I have tried a retune.

Adey, don't rush to judgement, despite claims to the contrary the Oxford transmitter is all over the place, we experienced mux 2 problems like several others last week. Last night, one of our televisions (built in freeview) just went to No Signal, despite another with external freeview off the same aerial being fine.
I simply pulled the plugs on the booster, plugged them back in and it was fine again.

Many thanks to Malcolm & Robert for your input. Unfortunately it was the digital tuner in the T.V .She pluged in an old sony freeview box and all is well again for now.
