Nick: Do you have Dave or Sky News? If not, it would appear that you are missing Mux ArqA. Try a manual tune on C60 in order to see what signal strength and quality is present.

Since I have retuned on 27th June 2012 I have now lost Five * Channel 30 and I cannot watch a program I like. When the changeover happened we lost Film 4 and Yesterday and have only got theses back this week so what is going on with the TV channels. I am getting fed up with missing program's because of this changeover.

Mrs Baker.Ipswich.Have you cleared your appliance's memory prior to rescanning by resetting your apparatus as such.Did you afterwards unplugged the aerial from your appliance concerned by performing an automatic scan and finding no channels as such,this procedure erases the previous memory as such.And after this after you plugged in the aerial back into the appliance in question did you perform a manual scan instead of an automatic scan as such.Manual scanning if your appliance allows it performs a much better job of storing the located frequencies as such than an automatic scan which often either misses frequencies or stores a frequency from a different transmitter/relay mast.

Mervyn Carter.Dale is correct.Lower pre-digital switched MUX2 is now higher powered post-digital switched D3+4 since DSO at Sudbury is still broadcasting on 100kw.MUX2 was switched off at DSO2 in the early hours of Wednesday morning 20 July 2011.

Well if the transmitter at Sudbury has got no problems then someone must have turned a dial down on com5 arqa. Because here in Ip3 the signal has gone really low since the 27/06.
