We first noticed our freeview had gone yesterday around 1700 as well. A couple of channels are ok (Dave is best), a few more are breaking up (STV, C4) and we get nothing from the BBC.
We also have an analogue aerial pointed at the Garelochhead repeater. Weirdly, STV has got better while BBC2 (previously the best) has got much worse, BBC1 and C4 are still the same, just about watchable.
I've just tried a full rescan on the freeview box and it just found the few channels that were there anyway, still nothing BBC, etc.
We've never had issues like this before.
Are you able to elaborate on what the engineers are up to? And whether this is permanent?
Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Our issue is with Freeview from Rosneath.
I believe Garelochhead is a repeater from Rosneath, but it only carries analogue. We rarely watch on analogue, but thought the differences in quality that happened at the same time as loss of freeview was interesting.

When checked Tuesday evening at ~1925 my main box (a Humax) was again displaying the MUX2 channnels, but not the Panasonic box
Same situation a few mins ago
Last time my set-up was disconnected/reconnected was October, so the "single frequency interference" can't be related to a change at my end

Brian, sorry for the delay in replying. Before I could run through all your checks, Analogue and Digital reception returned to normal around 16:00 yesterday.
Can only assume it was related to the engineering works, but thank you for your time here and efforts to help.

Our freeview returned yesterday evening as well.
Had tried several full rescans, and checked the aerial and all connections, but it just returned of it's own accord.
