P.E. These channels are working fine up here in Ludgershall. My aerial is VP. Make sure your set is tuned to C27 (sometimes I find I pick up another transmitter off the side of my aerial).
Good luck!

Normally get 100% signal from Luscombe Valley with the option to use Rowridge if that drops out. Last 2 days cannot get anything. Gone through the Freeview reset procedure without success. Live in BH14 8SX. Help please. ..

Bob: I'm not surprised you normally get 100% from Luscombe - your in Parkstone! (I know it well)
Since your so close, my guess is that your aerial has gone kaput (or at least a connection). To make sure, try rigging up a portable aerial - it will proably work fine. However, just try checking the connections - it might just be the aerial lead has come out.

Greetings...
II have a Panasonic TX-L32E3B Television...on which came the screen message inviting me to re tune as further channels had been detected.
I pressed the OK button and re-tuning took place and all went according to plan
Upon looking at the "Channel List" I found that the program "DAYSTAR" was being transmitted on
Channel 73. As I also have a set top box I returned this also but did not find a Channel N0. 73 nor the
Program "DAYSTRAR".
Contacting "Dacombe and Renaut" my TV Supplier I was told that there was no Channel numbered 73 also a number of my friends when retuning could'nt find it either.
I Live in Broadstone Dorset = Postcode BH18 9AX.
Please can you tell me why I am able to tune in "Channel 73 DAYSTAR" when others cannot.
Thank you in anticipation
Kind regards.......TREVOR

TREVOR: What UHF channel is it on? This information is usually given on the signal strength screen and might give us some idea where it is coming from.

Ivor Manzalaoui: I would suggest that the most likely might be Rowridge at 248 degrees.
With all transmitters you are hampered by not having line-of-sight. Whilst Rowridge is only 10 miles away, the ground rises up to your west and there is a lot of clutter on the ground which could cause you difficulty.

TREVOR: Refer to the list of services published by Digital UK:
Digital UK Industry - Channel listings
DAYSTAR is on COM7 which was introduced last year. It carries new HD services of BBC Four, BBC News and others. Its coverage is not as good as the other channels.
