i really have a problem making sense of this info.
i live in Godalming, near Guildfordand since (part 1?) of the change over last week we can no longer receive Channel4 or ITV - though BBC's are all OK. Have been retuning frequently to no avil - no Channel4/ITV anywhere.
before that, we could receive all stations fine (apart from occasional drop-outs over weekends die to low signal strength).
we use Freeview with loft mounted aerial (3 stories up) + signal amplifier.
i read that the Guildford Tansmitter is due for a further upgrade on 18th April 2012.
should this solve our problems with Channel 4 reception?
can anyone make sense of this?
who can we complain to if it doesn't improve?
thanks for any advise/light on the matgter.

Godalming
we are living in Godalming near Guildford and ordinarily can receive freeview tv, for most bbc and itv/ch4 channels.
however, virtually every friday night around midnight, for the past year or so, all channels except some bbc become 'low or no signal' and unreceivable - a situation that persists all weekend and often into the week. then all of a sudden they are back again, until the next weekend.
retuning the receiver makes matters much worse (even fewer channels) - so have given up trying. analogue (although not great reception either) has been our only fallback.
signal quality/strength is not always good where we are, but this seems periodic.
i am very worried that come the switch over we will be left with no tv at all having been totally forgotten about in the greater scheme of things by the broadcast/transmission companies.
there seems nowhere (except here perhaps?) to lodge our concerns.
anyone experienced similar/got any helpful advice?
