J metcalfe: If your transmitter is fine, it must be your system. You need to check it.

J metcalfe: If your Freeview reception is via the Bilsdale transmitter? then this station has been listed on the engineering page since Monday 4th under *Possible service interruptions*.
Needless to say, please refrain from being tempted to carry out a retune, as all this would achieve is to lose all channels stored in the tuner, frequent retunes then being required in order to recover same.
