I am in post code DD1 2PQ.
I am on the first floor of a 3 flat building.
My freeview box is in the lounge, 4 inches from my french doors and facing the Tay Bridge.
I have no problem with my reception, and am actually rather pleased with the variety of channels I am getting.
My problem is for the last week, we've lost any information for the guide. Now when we open the guide to see what's on other channels, all it shows is "No Information Available". I've done all the possible updates with my freeview box and wonder if I'm missing something, or if this is a problem for several freeview receivers now.

Sirena: You should try resetting your box by carrying a "factory reset" or "default setting" as this will delete the tuners memory store, then once complete carry out a normal auto-tune then check if the problem has vanished.
If though the problem is still there then please indicate the model number of the device in question.

I bought a new Tv on Monday 15th of April and tuned in my set. A notice came up on screen saying that I would have to retune after the17th. This I did I now have fewer channels , only BBC and only radio 6 radio.
My location is DD5 2SG and I am taking my signal from the Taybridge aerial .
Can you help me?

Graham T Jones: There was no retune required for viewers of Tay Bridge. The message was put out by Angus transmitters and therefore its relays, of which Tay Bridge is one. The message here in Yorkshire was that viewers may need to retune, owing to the fact that not all transmitters were due to have changes that required it.
If you are receiving from Tay Bridge and you have BBC services and you are missing some then you can only be missing STV, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc, so manually tune UHF channel 47. If this is a HD set then those services are on UHF channel 44.
