jordan: Most likely to be BBC1 East Midlands.If so it would have disappeared about 12.35am for DSO. Brierley Hill is on C57 but some other relays use C58 in the West Midlands.

Up until the switch over on the 7th September I had all the free view channels with no problems from a good indoor aerial pointing at Sutton C. After retuning today I have lost BBC1 and 2. Retuned with the aerial out and retuned with aerial back in three times. I still cannot get BBC1 and 2 but receiving ITV etc OK. I have two other televisions on a dish which show that they are receiving BBC1 and two on channel 43. Have tried to manually tune the problem television manually to C43 but still no BBC1 or2.
