A Wilton.: Firstly, nobody on this website has anything to do with any broadcaster or transmitter company. Secondly, nobody is switching off the HD signal, certainly not on a regular basis. There is engineering work currently listed for Crystal Palace, but given that it serves nearly 5 million homes and you're the only one reporting a problem, that would suggest the problem is at your end somewhere rather than the transmitter. Start by checking for any loose or damages cables or connections behind the TV - a small fault might not make any difference most of the time as the signal is so strong, but when transmitter power is reduced during engineering work it may be enough for signal to be lost.

Chaz Burton: There is currently a warning of engineering works taking place at the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. To offer specific advice we need a full postcode to be able to see your predicted signal strength, but it's worth checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV, as any faults are more likely to show up during times when the signal strength is reduced.

M Mitchell : The PSB3 multiplex carrying HD channels is broadcast on UHF channel 40 (with a +166KHz offset which won't affect tuning on most TVs).

Lois: If you're being asked for a postcode and then seeing London channels instead of Wales, that sounds like you're using Freesat rather than receiving a Freeview transmitter. Have you tried powering the box off at the mains for a few minutes, then switching it back on, which can cure many glitches?

Margaret : Do you get LBC on your radio? If you can receive LBC but not Classic FM that would indicate that your radio is not compatible with DAB+.

Susy Roberts: See my reply immediately above your post. ITV have decided to cut the broadcast hours of some of their +1 channels and have them share capacity so only one one can broadcast at a time.

Nicholas Anderson: Most of the streaming channels would never be able to afford to broadcast on Freeview if they weren't streamed, and given how far down the EPG they are listed, are probably happy just to be promoted at all.
