What happened to Itv reception especially Freeview channel 10 on 28th september? Apart from a message on the screen to retune no information from anyone.
I've lost a lot of the freeview channels including No10. Is this permanent or semi permanent or one day? Can someone out there official give some information to the consumer

Briantist,
Thankyou for your advice re the web address. I live in taunton-I should have said that before. I found the general advice there very illuminating re digital and analogue TV transmittal.

It sounds as if Wendy and colin who seem to be also dependent on the Mendip transmitter have also had problems. The next day after retuning I got all the channels back and arguably slightly more distinct.

It would have been helpful if the notice on the screen had said that the difficulty was due to a temporary maintenance /lower strength signal, which would have not have alarmed people as much as the loss did without any explanation.

After all we seem to be subject to so much new technology -which could encourage one to go out and buy new TV or video when it appears to be only a temporary lower strength signal hiatus.

The consumer is King!!! Information to the consumer seems rather lacking.

Steve
