I shouldn't have retuned. TV services at some other local transmitters (like Seagry Court) may be subject to temporary disruption but should be restored by late afternoon on 27 March. (SN253DJ)

Retuned again last night and everything is fine again.
Thanks, Dave, for your helpful comments (most of it I was aware off). I have our aerial horizontal and because we are pretty close to Seagry Court no problem with a week signal. Currently the aerial is below the roof line so pointing it towards Mendip would mean that I would have to move to the front of the house (no chimney), which I prefer not to do.
As far as I can see the new COM4 position on Oxford won't interfere with Seagry either, so no problems expecting.

Bob:
I received the same card this morning.
This is probably because some in Swindon are pointing towards Oxford that uses both Ch59+60.
So, no, you haven't lost the plot but some people in Swindon will be affected.

Tony, your first question is clearly answered in the general information about Seagry Court higher on the page: "The Seagry Court (Swindon, England) mast is a public service broadcasting (PSB) transmitter, it does not provide these commercial (COM) channels:" (this includes Drama and ITV3). As far as I remember they were never offered from Seagry Court.
Because of our location our aerial pointing towards Seagry Courts also picks up Oxford, so we receive these channels, but not always clearly.
pixilation: are you at the edge of the signal area? How strong is the signal in general? Are you sure that you get your signal from Seagry Court?

I seem to have lost my signal from Seagry Court. I assume this is because Mendip has been retuned overnight?
From my aerial Seagry Court is almost in line with Ofxord, so after retuning I now only pick up 6 multiplexes from Oxford. So no big problem; only tonight when we would like to watch news in the West (makes mental note to try and retune tonight again).
