I still cannot tune Ch67 on the iDTVs - Set top boxes still OK. A couple of observations, though, the service on ITV1+1 is from Wales yet ITV1 is from Bristol and what is the point of broadcasting Daybreak on ITV1+1?
Is there any solution to this retune issue? By the way I am in Chippenham

I am in Chippenham using Freeview and get the welsh news on ITV1+1. What a lash up!! If a region doesn't broadcast its local news on ITV1+1 why bother at all?

Update from Chippenham.
The current situation is: I have all Channel67 progs on 1 V Box, 1 Set top box, and 1 iDTV, but not on another iDTV. I have replaced a splitter and about 15 metres of coax cable. However, on all devices there re Channel 56 progs with sound but no vision. Everything was hunky dory prior to the January 11th retune debacle just to get ITV1+1 from Wales.
Has anybody noticed that there are 3 channels ITV Preview 1 which broadcasts (ITV Nightscreen) for 2 hours per day, Home broadcasting for 1 hour per day and Big Deal for 1 hour per day. Talk about wasting resources. Whose idea was it to have Mendip transmitter 'liable to disruption' less than 7 days after the post retune problems started?

In Chippenham.
Lost a whole shed load of channels including itv4 & itv3. Does anyone know how long these interruptions will last?

12:36 service has just come back.

Hi, all.
I live in Chippenham, Wiltshire and as of 9 am this morning I have had no DAB signal on either of my DAB radios. Radio via Freeview is OK. Does anyone have any idea of any works going on and how long the situation may last?
Many thanks

Hi, All,
I live in Chippenham (SN15 3PE) and for the last 2 weeks or so I have suffered terrible pixelation on COM 4 channels. Previous to this all channels were fine.
Is anyone else experiencing similar and any knowledge of reduced power.
Many thanks

Thanks for the advice, Mike.
This is weird but as suddenly as it started 2 and a bit weeks ago, last night I had no problems with any terrestrial channels. The only variable was rhat last night was warmer.
This morning, so far so good.
Thanks once again

Just done a retune because of the change for ITV1+1 and ITV2+1 and have lost everything on Channel 67 e.g. Yesterday, ITV4 etc on iDTVs but on set top boxes OK so far. Just to add an extra hour shift channel it doesn't seem worth it.
