About 2 weeks ago I lost all Com6, C28 (529.8Mhz) signals on one of my TVs. Retuning has not solved the problem nor has fitting a Restore TV filter.
What is the problem?

Marc:
Have you tried a manual retune of C28 in the last few days?
It seems there are no transmitter faults currently reported and the transmitter isn't currently listed for Planned Engineering.
Without a full postcode and some details about your aerial installation it's almost impossible to say, other than suggest some of the more obvious checks.
Your predicted reception of COM6 may not be quite as good as the other multiplexes and what may seem as minor issues can have a greater effect.
What type of aerial have you got and where is it located?
Does it look intact, still point in the correct direction with its rods (or squashed Xs) horizontal?
Is the downlead secure, not flapping in the wind, and look undamaged and not brittle?
Do you have a pre-amp that's either mounted on the mast if the aerial is external or immediately after the aerial if in a loft?
Do you have an amp/splitter to feed more than one TV outlet?
Where is the filter fitted?
Check all accessible coax connections for corrosion or water.
Have you altered/moved any equipment? Check any flyleads from wall sockets to TV.
Look in your TV Tuning section for Signal Strength and Quality (or Error) figures.
Post the Strength and Quality figures for each multiplex's UHF channel.
