Last Saturday (25th Feb) I could no longer view the independent (non-BBC) Freeview channels. On Sunday 26th service had been restored to all channels. Today I have been unable to receive the following:
ITV1
C4
C5
ITV2
C4+1
More 4
E4
ITV1+1
When I checked the signal strength showing for these channels on my Freeview box, all were low - 4 out of a possible 10. When I can receive these channels they register 6 out of 10. Channels I can receive currently are all registering 6 out of 10.
Channels I am unable to watch deliver pixelated images, and intermittent sound.
I have completely re-set my Freeview box, wiping all existing settings and then rescanned. The problem remains.
I live at the postal code E1W 3RY, and connect via a communal roof aerial in a development of flats. I have not experienced this problem before 25th Feb.
I see that the channels I am having problems with are listed as being on Mux 2 which has a rating of "low". The channels I can receive are on Mux 1 which has a rating of "Maximum."
Can anyone suggest a reason for what appears to be a reduction in the service level available on Mux 2?
