IGNORE - PROBLEM SORTED! Anyone having problems with Freeview this morning?!

I don't seem to be getting 95% of the freeview channels today??? (was fine last night)
My TV has Freeview built into it (plus I have a freeview aerial), and I've been using this without any issues for the last 3 or 4 years.
On switching the telly on this morning, I find that my analogue signal is fine, and that I get only a few digital channels (ie Cbeebies, Parliament channel, and a few radio stations), but the majority of them aren't being detected?!
This leads me to think the problem is not at my end?? If a wire had come loose, or there was a problem with my aerial, then I wouldn't get anything would I?
If anyone could advise it would be appreciated, thanks

Indeed you could well get some channels and not others.
This would appear to be an aerial/ signal related problem.0 -
It seems to have sorted itself out now!0

What area are you, herman2811?
Are you covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter?0 -

Our digital TV wouldn't work this morning - but when switched to analogue it would. We thought it was a fault with the TV, but having rung Toshiba and then freeview, it appears there were problems with the Sandy Heath transmitter.
They must be sorted now, as TV is fine - had to do a re-tune though.0
