No BBC channels found by my TV freeview receiver (clean 'first time' install) yesterday or this morning.
Strong ITV signal from same mast but zero on BBC channels.
Where does your 'no issues' info come from?

s3swiss:
There are no issues currently being reported with the Rosemarkie transmitter. The problem you report is most commonly due to a poor connection in your aerial system. So check every signal connection carefully, ensuring that the inner core is separate from the outer braiding and that all plugs and sockets are correctly fitted. Light corrosion of one contact is the common cause.
