I retuned last night and all my channels are back on freeview. I lost most of my channels a few months ago. Briantist you always claim the signal is fine regardless, I suspect you live 'underneath' the transmitter.

Hi there Brian
Thanks for the post, but I have checked that and the problem is reduced signal power from the transmitter.....
I have a Freeview PVR and that can just about recieve the signals in the Channel 50 group, but the Signal Quality is only about 25-20% and the Signal Strength about 30-40%
Who should I contact about this....?
