Robert Dallenger: More than 1/2 our viewing is from the PVR [Sony] so I have noticed a lot of these blanks recently. If you rewind and play over the information is there. I assumed it was just our machine approaching capacity [again]. A really poor means of recording in my opinion; how do you 'lend' someone a 'tape' like the old days?
Our is by , from or . We have no set top box or .

When you think we will get BBC1 Look North from on 101?
I've tried too and they too do the red slide saying retune to 1.
Yet I'm told have it sorted and do Look North Leeds in HD requiring no changing at 18:30.

David: viewers do not get regional news on BBC One HD as Sky boxes receive the same BBC channels from the same satellites as boxes, whoever told you that was misinformed. The BBC have said they want to start rolling out all their regional versions of BBC One and BBC Two nations in HD during their new charter period which begins next year. No firm dates have been announced but it seems likely that HD regions will start to appear on and next year.

Does anyone know if 74 (True Christmas) on , they are transmitting or not, around the country or just in one area?

Nigel Archer: True Christmas (74) is broadcast by main stations fitted with an additional "local" , the used by said multiplex designed to radiate in a highly directional pattern, and although both stations which cover your area ( and ) are equipped with local multiplexes, unfortunately you are located well outside of the coverage area of said multiplex from both stations.

Wednesday 9th November 2016 - , Norfolk - supposedly no transmitter problems, but TV (NR19 2XQ) worked fine early morning. No TV in evening - re-tune - at all detected. Yet, Thursday 10th November 2016 attempted re-tune and worked fine. Unfortunately the transmitter must have been dishy out weak signals as it affected HDD recording device and no ITV 1WW programme was recorded - just a frozen . Had to watch TV on computer and even then the picture was pixellated. Why don't they tell us the truth?

Hilary Woodward:

Firstly if the had a fault a great many thousands of people would have been affected and sites such as this would have been inundated with queries - but they haven't.

You are only 24 km/15 miles away from a powerful main transmitter and even if the strength was reduced you are close enough to not notice any significant difference.

The mistake was to do a retune! Never do that unless there are new serviced added, doing it as you have only loses whatever may have been available, so is counter-productive.

It is likely that your receiving equipment had/has a fault. You should check all the wiring from the to the recorder and the TV.

I was away from UK for 5 years and got back 2 months ago and the entire country seems to have moved to now. Back in 2010 I could watch the basic 5 through my , but now when I connect my TV to the antenna, nothing comes up. I have retuned it several times but to no avail.

My TV is not enabled, does that mean, I need to have a Freeview box to connect to my aerial and the old fashioned way of connecting the aerial straight to an old fashioned TV won't work anymore?

PR: The UK completed the switch to TV back in 2012, in fact there are now only a handful of countries elsewhere in the world still using TV. You will indeed need a Freeview box in order to use a TV which doesn't have Freeview built in. Although your TV may not be HD it would be worth getting a box as you will still more and avoid the need to buy another new box again in a couple of years. There also aren't many definition Freeview boxes available now, as most people who needed one will have bought one a few years ago. I use the Manhattan Plaza HD-T2 box with my bedroom TV (link below) which has worked well for the 12 months or so that I've had it.
