Below are all of MikeB's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.L MacLachlan: Its not. Its a Light transmitter, and the commercial broadcasters dont think the cost of using it is worth it. See Steven's answer to a similar question here: I can't get Freeview yet, when will it start in my area?

Alan Hume: And retuning will do nothing except lose the lock on what you had...
If your missing a mux, there is probably a problem with your system.

NigelB: If your losing muxes, its almost certainly your system. As far as BBC4 HD is concerned, it moved mux, and a simple retune (which will often be done automatically) should bring it back.
But if your in Ealing, your signal should be very good, so I'd start by checking cables.

Forest Paget: we need a postcode for a start, plus which channels it happens on. But check signal strength first - high or low?

Barry: check the aerial lead - if its damaged, then that can cause problems with certain muxes. They are very cheap to replace, so its an easy check.
A Sony TV will tend to have a fairly sensitive tuner, albeit one which is really robust with a high signal strength. So its possible that one set is just at the threshold of having a problem, whereas another is just below it.

S Alderton: The transmitter seems to be working, looking at the top of the page. If its not the transmitter, it must be you. Check your cables, etc. Retuning is pointless.
