We live in Colwyn Bay and cannot get the Welsh channels, is there a problem with the transmitter transmitting these chanels please. It seems daft that we are living in Wales and cannot get the Welsh programs. We were getting them about 4 weeks ago and then we were told to retune our TV and since then we have been ubable to get them.

John Eynon:
Without a full postcode, I can't be certain which transmitter you may be predicted to use, if it's Penmaen Rhos there were no changes, it's a PSB only relay of Moel-y-Parc which had one change when the COM4/SDN multiplex moved from C51 to C33, so that's why the relay may have had the unnecessary retune pop-up!
The missing multiplex(es) may have been off-air when you retuned, so it would just have cleared correct tuning.
Try a retune BUT as follows - Unplug the aerial and do an automatic retune which should clear all previous tuning as nothing should be found. Then plug the aerial back in and repeat the retune, hopefully all channels will be correctly restored.
