Below are all of Hannah Chacko's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I tried resetting the TV and whatnot (according to advice).... now I only get bbc1, bbc2, bbc3, itv3, qvc, bidtv, itv2+1, 5*, 5usa, 5+1, challenge, and bbc news. Some of the other channels are there but are blank or display broken images from other channels and others are just missing :( Apparently no issues with the local transmitters...

Hi, am in the south of Lincoln (LN5 8BF - though can only be found on a map with LN5 8RJ) and am having some signal issues. Our aerial is in the loft and was fitted recently along with a booster.
I seem to have lost a few channels - itv2+1, 5*, 5USA, CITV. I did a full check of the list and it seems every channel from the COM4/SDN multiplex have poofed... And I watch the ones mentioned above quite a lot >.>
I know there is some construction in the Waltham transmitter - would this be causing the problem? We also in range of the Emley Moor transmitter, but dunno which one we pick up...
All other channels have very high signal - which is also unusual... we normally only get 65% (fine for watching) but are now getting 80-90% on the channels we have left.
If it is construction at Waltham - any ideas how long it'll go on for? Seems strange to have channel 5 and all the other itv channels and yet miss these few

Checked with the landlord - definitely pointed to Waltham. Tried the manual scan and got a 60% signal strength but no quality. The channels were found at one point in the search but disappeared again.... result - no new channels stored :( Confused now...

Managed to get the channels back (they put themselves in the 800s). They have what should be on in the epg (body of proof on 5USA) but no signal... so I moved them to the channels they should be on and still no service, though I get the occasional spatter of sound/colour

Tried the other channels without success - they couldn't even find the channels. Is definitely on C29.
The properties were built rather recently, and the landlord got the aerial man out. They wanted to fit the aerial outside, but for some reason couldn't... not a clue why. I'll wait on the engineering work finishing and see if it improves. Has only been an issue since the weekend, so may be the cause.

I'm in the Lincoln area and we've been avoiding the update due to folks losing channels. My OH didn't realise this and retuned tonight and now we've lost Film4 along with Yesterday and a whole bunch of other channels :(
