The real shame about all this is if it continues, I ain't going to be able to record the 2nd Brit to win the Tour de France for posterity. Gutted!

Sorcha. Only time will tell.
It is not an issue with the DVD recorder as far as I can tell but I am NO expert.
I have checked and mine is definitely on the current firmware version 1.70 and as been for a year or three.
It's probably best to just patiently wait for an expert on here to come up with suggestions.
As I say, I am no expert but I cannot see how tropospheric issues could affect a signal through a DVD recorder but not affect Freeview through a Digital TV.
And having read a fair bit online this morning, I am awaiting confirmation from anyone in the know as to what changes could solely affect Sony machines.
It makes no sense to me.

I have found this information on this website:-
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Not sure how to apply what it states.
Advice from the pros greatly appreciated to get us Sony HXD users up and running again!

I'm so glad I persisted in searching the internet and found this site.
I am on Waltham transmitter and sometime yesterday early evening, I lost freeview through my Sony RDR-HXD870.
I am not sure a firmware upgrade will do anything as I am pretty sure I did mine a couple of years ago and the latest firmware is dated 2010.
Therefore, I cannot see how this could suddenly affect anything if it has been working fine for 2 years and, to be honest, I am not that keen on re-doing the firmware upgrade whilst I cannot get a picture.
Is it possible that 4G has been ramped up on Waltham or something as I have read 4G can cause problems?
"My HX995 seems to be without a signal, yet is on 83% strength, and flicks up a normal signal for perhaps a second."
Exactly the same issue as I have. It sometimes plays a second or so of image and picture and cuts out.
