    What Freeview box have you got, and what transmitter are you using? It sounds like you have lost one or more of the six multiplexes. (Does your channel scan differ from normal?) Have you checked that your aerial hasn't changed direction?

    In the Berks area, the "best" transmitter to point your aerila at will probably be Hannington, but look at http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/transmitternetwork/tools__and__resources/switchover_maps for more detailed info on where your nearest/nest transmitter is

  • I've had a similar problem after rescanning on Friday I have lost all my Sky channels (Sky 3, Sky News & Sky Sports News, channels 11, 82 & 83 respectively), I have Freeview built within my Panasonic TV. I have contacted Freeview and they confirm that the signal is still being sent from Crystal Palace & suggested re-scanning, which I’ve done with no change, I’ve not touched any of the cables/internal aerial.

    I am in the SG12 postal area.

    Cheers in advance
