I am experiencing problems with receiving all channels except channel 10 ITV3. I have had these problems all day today 19th January and over the last few days in the evenings. Info on line indicates there are suppose to be problems with the Waltham transmitter between 00.01 and 06.00 hrs on the 19th and 20th Jan. and that TV services will be disrupted. There are the same problems with our next door neighbor, how long will we have to put up with these problems? I have a roof aerial and have had no previous problems.
