Prior to switch over I received my analogue signal from Winchcombe relay transmitter. After stage one I was able to view BBC2 via my Freeview box. Since stage two the only thing I get is a message informing me of NO SIGNAL NO INFORMATION on all channels.
My aerial is fixed to my chimmney and I have a clear view to the transmitter which is 2km away.
Can you explain why I am not getting a signal please.

Terry Metherall: I think Winchcombe had the BBC A MUX on UHF channel 61 between DSO1 and DSO2. At DSO2 it has been moved to UHF channel 49.
Resetting your Freeview box by doing a "first time installation" or "default settings / factory reset" should sort it out.
