me10 3da postcode all ok all day yesterday went off again last night about 19.45hrs and stayed off untill 09.55 hrs this morning now back to normal. my father who has exactly the same equipment and everything as me and lives me10 3af about 1/4 mile away has had no problems what so ever.i am also led to believe that digital signals should not be as weather affected as analogue

Ken i did not do a full retune, as I was on the phone to the BBC engineer, I just did a manual channel search for channel 45 (BBCB PSB3) and it was back up to full strength, so I just retuned channel 45 and stored those few channels.
And it has been perfect ever since.
