I seem to have lost channels 15 and 24 for some reason......all I get is channel not found.:confused:
I have re-tuned but they ain't there anymore.:eek:----I'm in Oxfordshire, has anyone got some advice...I'd like my rubbishy films back ;)
And Dave ja vu!

    Have you checked the BBC transmitters website to see if there's any engineering work going on at your local one?

    They occasionally take a few of the multiplexes off-air when they are tweaking the transmitters.

    I've spent a bit of time checking this out and it seems that I have lost all channels under MUX D....my aerial has struggled with digital and only ever got me 60% on bbc1.:eek:
    Looks like I need a better aerial, although it's odd that it's suddenly got this bad :o anyone agree;);)

    Have a look on http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/ . There are thousands of people who have been cream crackered since the re-tune fiasco. Don't change the aerial until you've ruled out other things.

    I've had a look on there but I have re tuned correctly, and the aerial signal strength checker showed my aerial to be OK.---this only happened very recently but I can't find any work on transmitters to have caused it.It's a bl**dy nightmare, why didn't leave the TV alone. Digital, whatever it's used for is a load of s**t, it's poor quality.wobbly,unreliable and expensive...bring back valves!!:rotfl:
    Ahhh! that's better:D Now about my missing channels :confused::confused:

    If it has suddenly dropped off, do you have a signal booster? Is it turned on, not like mine unplugged for the tree lights. I noticed after retunning and everything Doh!! :)
    Also it could be worth checking the arial cable for water ingress or poor connections. Has someone built anything new on the hills nearby ie wind farms.
    Is there any new electrical devices in the house/nearby causing interference?
    You get the idea.
