Hello. I have completely lost Freeview ITV reception today. BBC is fine - no different from normal. Is there a problem, please? We have noticed that ITV Freeview has been very weak for the last few weeks, but today it is non-existent, and my TV cannot detect it or the other channels in that group at all.
My postcode is BH22 9AZ, external roof aerial.

Bulsara: What sort of "box" do you have? There is a handy postcode listed at the top of the page - PO30 4HT.
Remember that it's pee-oh-three-zero, ie letter-letter-digit-digit

Brian - I am fed up with receiving Rowridge reports of TX eng. Is there any way I can selectively stop emails for this page but keep the rest?
The option offered on the email seems to be all or none?
Or am I confuddled?
