Rafael: Taking it you are meaning Belmont? which isn't really switched over as yet with the exception of the BBC1 Mux transmitter, this now operating on full power as well as the new 8K transmission mode, but try a manual scan on Mux channel 22 (BBC1) and see what comes up.
As you are only located at 8 miles away from this transmitter the possibility exists that your equipment is experiencing signal overload problems which will block reception, so if any boosters are in line try removing them, but if by any chance this doesn't make any difference then a attenuator in line with the aerial socket could effect a cure. (this info much more applicable if using an outside aerial)
To test for overload problem, if you can access a set top type aerial give that a try, as if BBC1 is then found to work that proves you are suffering from signal overloading.
Of course another more dastardly problem could exist if none of the above effects a cure, that being of your receiving equipment not being able to respond to an 8k signal, although this would apply more with older equipments.

Thanks for the advice guys. Attenuator arrived today but weirdly all channels were viewable when I turned on the tv without it. Something must have changed and it's nothing I've done this end?

Thanks for reply.
It isnt other equipment as I haven't altered anything since the first switchover.
We'll see what happens tomorrow when channel 53 is used and not 57

Hmmm, sat watching tv tonight and all of a sudden the channel I was watching (bbc1) disappears, I got to bbc2, it's there for a moment then gone, now all channels have gone. It's a sharp LCD tv with inbuilt freeview. So I thought rescan, tried that three times and it just says no carrier signal.!!?? At a loss now. Any ideas please? Bearing in mind I was watching and the channels just disappeared.
