In the last week i cannot get some of the channels on my Freeview TV that i could always get . when i rescan my TV some of the missing channels return but other channels that i could get before i rescanned i could not get them after i rescanned my TV
I have this Samsung TV for about 7 years and i never had any problems with it until now
what is the problem and how do i fix it ?

I suggest going to https://www.freeview.co.uk/freeview-channel-checker and check what channels you should get for your postcode.
If you are missing channels off this list then its most likely a signal strength issue.1 -
Do you get a message a couple of times a week saying "new channels have been added" - select your region. I get given a choice of Gloucester and West Midlands but not found any difference
Do that and it solves the problem.
I used to loose ITV regularly.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill1 -

I retune our box and tv from time to time and notice that channels do disappear - they’ve either no longer on freeview or simply moved to another location0

You could try another TV on the same cable and see if it gets more channels, this will point to a possible TV tuner issue.
Other than that, the only real way is getting a professional to come check out the aerial alignment, signal levels, etc...0
