FJC Farrar: No, there is no effect as the current digital services are being provided by the same panels that have been there for the last decade.
The new equipment is being used for the current analogue channels and will just switch to digital, as it did on the recent commissioning tests, overnight.

Good evening Gents, my freeview box channels disappeared on saturday night,it read no signal,I thought the box had gone so went to argos sunday and bought a slightly more expensive settop box, have gone through the scan procedure over and over there has no channels I have checked all cables and aerials, have split the aerial with my daughters her is fine, have spent hours yesterday and today swapping cables and I still have no freeview on my samsung slim tv about 3 years old, could my tv need updating before the switch over or how can our reception from crystal palace transmitter work on one tv and not the other. any advise helpful, thanks Thea

Thea: As your query concerns a reception problem the you really have to indicate your location (pref: post code) to enable an assessment to be made on the signal level expected in your area.
However as far as one device being able to receive OK whereas the other doesn't is something quite commonly experienced by many, and with the usual reason for this being that because no two tuners have the same sensitivity its always the more sensitive types that's able to produce a picture on a weak signal whereas the less sensitive types cannot.
There is of course a complete reverse of this situation where excessively strong signals are involved, this being another reason for requesting your location.
Another factor to keep in mind is that there is constant engineering work taking place at Crystal Palace in preparation for the switchover in April, so glitches and breaks in reception has to be expected at any time.

Hi. Postcode HP10 8ES. Have an aerial with 8 crossbars, installed 6 years ago on pole attached to outside of chimney. Feeds into amplifier in loft and to 4 sets around the house.
Worked ok on freeview until a couple of weeks ago when we started losing sky news, dave and a few other channels - all late at night. Unable to receive HD channels at all.
Tried retuning - no difference.
2 nights ago lost them again and they have stayed lost, even during the day!
Suggestions please.....(do I need a high gain aerial?)
Thanks
