Lost all the BBC channels after switchover

KxMx

I am in Anglia and our switchover is not yet complete- there is a second stage 20th July and something in November I believe. All that was done on the 6th was BBC2 switching off. The other 4 will switch off 20th July when the digital signal will be at full strength.

The BBC channels are currently located in the 800's. After the second stage hopefully all things will be back to normal and should then get all channels.

We've just had our switchover in the Yorkshire area, and I've lost BBC1, BBC2 and BBC3. I do have BBC4, Parliament, on my digital tv (built in digital), added an aerial booster, connected to a digital roof aerial. There is no factory settings/default settings for the digital tv. I have manually tuned in quite a few channels, ones that I didn't have before e.g. 5*, 5USA, ITV2+1. I went to digitaluk.co.uk and found a list of channels I should be able to get, after putting my postcode in. Does anyone know how I can BBC1,2 & 3 on my digital tv?

Upstairs I have an analogue tv, with an aerial plugged into leading to a digital roof aerial, it has managed to hold onto BBC1 albeit in BBC2's slot, but at least I can watch it. I don't know how it's managed to do that but I'm grateful.

Any advice appreciated thank you

I live in East Anglia and since the switchover I can't watch numerous channels. Either it's the picture which is all over the place or the sound or both. Fine before the switch.

I have retuned until I'm blue in the face and it makes no difference.

We have a communal aerial and new aerial boxes were installed in each property and I do wonder whether it's that. My neighbours don't have a problem. I contacted Digital UK and they said it was the aerial but I recently heard that the transmitter at Tacolneston was having problems.

It was on Radio Norfolk and although I e-mailed them for info, they have not replied.

Nothing is simple is it?

Since the switchover some freeview multiplexes have changed frequencies. It could be there's what's called a 'levelling filter' within the communal distribution which has not been re-aligned and as such you can get some services on certain multiplexes and not others. If others aren't affected apart from the shared property I'd put it down to the distribution system.
