Lost Channels after digital switchover

Hello

I live in the East Midlands and since April 13th access to ITV, Ch4, E4, More4 and some other channels seems to be limited or none existent.

I've retuned several times with no success.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Cheers.

    Which transmitter are you on? The Central switchover is not yet complete and you may have to retune again on 20/4:

    I believe it's the Nottingham transmitter. I'll try again on the 20th though, thanks for the advice.

    Hi,

    I had exactly the same last week and retuning will not get rid of the problem. I live in the Nottingham area.

    You will find that the signal is poor for itv 1,2,3,4, channel 4 & 5.

    I bought a booster plus an aerial lead from a**s, total cost £17, plugged it in, retuned and now have all channels no problem plus good pictures.
