Simon,
I don't think anyone is really giving much thought about it at all. I've tried the Tamworth Herald (and they did run a small piece but haven't followed it up). I've also tried the BBC, Arqiva, Tamworth Council. All to no avail.
We do need another way of making people realise there is a widespread problem. It's not just individuals affected and it's not the fault of the residents and it's definitely nothing to do with their aerials.

Hi Louise,
I feel we're becoming close friends here. lol
I didn't get any response at all from the MP. I'm glad you did though. At least we know they are looking into it. Great that you get a chance to speak to him too.

Michael,
I'm still in the same boat. As are many others. You've been fortunate to get your channels for 5/6 weeks. All I've had is a handful of channels for months.
Everyone east of the mast (ie. mostly Tamworth residents) have had the same problem. No-one seems to be forthcoming with a resolution though.
I have written to Arqiva, the BBC, Tamworth Herald and even my local MP. All to no avail (although the Herald did do two small pieces on it but nothing significant). One person on this website has a meeting with the Tamworth MP to discuss this matter as it's very wide-spread and no-one can give us any answers or provide a resolution date. We've heard everything. "you need to change your aerial", "you have a fault", "try re-tuning", "they're working on the mast", "you need to wait until the upgrade in September 2011", "there's nothing wrong".
I'm sure you'll agree none of these are acceptable. But still no answers.
As was pointed out above though this site is totally independant. It's purpose is to provide advice and for people to share thoughts.
All we can do is hope someone finally decides it's time for people to start watching TV again!

Steve, mine has been intermittently poor for the past few months now. I don't think it's going to be 'fixed' until the digital switchover in all honesty. Everything has gone really quiet again.
