Firstly, please check all the aerial cables and connections, unplugging any plugs from the sockets and refitting. It would help if you provide a full post code so that we contributors can look at the expected reception conditions for your location.

Hi anyone else having trouble with Talk Sport on Tacolneston, 723, ch45?
Can get all other ch45 ok including RNIB connect which is the only other radio channel on this mux.
TS just comes up 'loading data' and nothing happens, no sound.
Have done full rescan (and will probably spend next 1/2 hour putting my reservation back in... grrr...)
Cricket starts next week and would rather be on freeview for it than medium frequency!
Any ideas anyone?

Whilst The BBC signal is OK, most other channels are poor, and the screen breaks. Is there a reason for this? Ariel is near the roof. Post code NR47QX

There should be a very strong signal Mike. Sounds like there is an aerial or connection fault. If replacing aerial I would recommend a log type as it covers all present and future channels.

The Tacolneston transmitter is on reduced power.
Com7&8 can't be used and even BBC1HD is unwatchable.
Site: NR28 9PU. Aerial installation top notch. Freeview perfect on all mixes before Nov 5. Engineering work schedule for week commencing Nov 5.
You should make this clear.

Both digitaluk and a615digital state that engineering work is planned for the w/c Nov 5 hence my comment.
It appears that either the work is ongoing or it has resulted in a drastic reduction in power.
