From Wikipedia: edit Programming Film4 did not originally focus on broadcasting blockbusters, but nowadays broadcasts many mainstream Hollywood movies. The channel frequently has themed nights or seasons in which a number of films centred around one genre, director or actor are shown. As Channel 4 also owns a film production company, Film4 Productions, it shows many of its in-house productions. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about Film4 on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Briantist the page you refer us to merely says that a retune will be necessary. I, and others, have explained that the problem is not rectified by retuning. The question remains.

Lost Film4, ITV4 and Yesterday three days ago and retuned many times. Not working.
Not quite sure who we can report this too so that we can get the channels back.
Any ideas?

Lesleyh.Stockport,SK4 3NA.First see "My freeview box (or TV) has no EPG,is blank on FIVE,ITV3,ITV4,ITV2+1,has no sound or the channel line up is wrong" section.You will have to perform a resetting procedure exactly as outlined in this section.Also is your aerial horizontally polarised and located outside,in the loft or an internal set-top antenna.Importantly is it directed at Winter Hill,Moel-Y-Parc or The Wrekin transmitters,or from Saddleworth relay which is polarised vertically.If you are using an amplifier/signal booster try and remove it !

Also in Nth Essex (Wivenhoe) and lost loads of channels (Film4, Sky News, ITV4etc), since the advised retune. Got an amp on my aerial (otherwise Freeview doesn't work at all in my area).
No idea if my aerial is wideband or not.
Am I right in thinking that a large proportion of people using the Sudbury antenna have lost some of their channels and the advice seems to be get a new aerial?

update:
after reading a little more (always a good idea) I have lost all of the COM5 and COM6 channels since the changes on the 17th.
Any advice on how to get them back without having to get new aerials and rewire?
Tried all the various suggested reboots/retunes and no success.

Or do I have to wait until June next year when they switch back and increase the power?

It appears all the ads about the switch-over weren't entirely honest if we now need to install new aerials, boosters etc as well as already buying new TV and decoder.

Any ideas who to complain to?
