Had to remove my group C/D filter to get BBC back. Only added because we weakly pick up Darvel and the NowTV box gets very confused.
Indoor reception seems to be much poorer last 24h. My EyeTV stick struggling to pick up all muxes. Any change in radiated power? Have LoS to Rosneath mast.

I have lost all channels on one of my TVs since the engineering works on friday and they have not returned. Have tried to retune and no joy, however if i move the TV into a different room connected to a different socket it is fine. Anyone with similar issues?

Jack:
Please check all the aerial system, checking all the cables and connections. Check also that any splitter is working correctly and is properly set and powered (if relevant). You also need to unplug the aerial, do a retune without it and then refit the aerial and do another retune.
I assume you have a wideband aerial fitted and in use?

Hi Brian
On checking multiplexes for Rosneath post the 5 September retune, the channel allocations do not agree with
what you have further up the page (admittedly the only 2018 figures you give are for Dec onwards). My observations agree with those in the DigitalUK 700MHz Clearance document for STV region.
