I have a tv with built in freeview working on a portable area in Walsden. Since the changeover the tv will only broadcast ITV programmes. Note that the Walsden transmitter is currently off air for BBC freeview and assume this the problem.Will this transmitter broadcast BBC freeview in the future.

BILL MILLS: The transmitter is operating normally, it was only down from 00:15-02:22 yesterday for switchover.
You have no provided a postcode, so I can't be sure of the reasons for your problem. You might need to see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice or Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

If you look immediately below your posting you will see that your local transmitter was off air from0751 until 0919 this morning for engineering work. The BBC HD services were also off air at the same time.

We are experiencing a very poor signal for TV with a large amount of pixilation. We have tried two TVs and both are the same. Is there a problem with the Walsden transmitter or is it our ariel ?

It is likely to be due to the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. There is no cure as it is not a fault and DO NOT RETUNE.
