Mrs Tracy Richardson: A post code or one from nearby (e.g: a shop/post office) is always required with queries of this nature as its impossible to check on the transmitters that cover your area without this info.

Please note: This relay is actually horizontal polarisation.

Steve: Digital UK Coverage Checker reports it as being vertically polarised. However, photos on mb21 clearly show it uses horizontal polarisation:

I have no reception on channels 42 and 45 which has been ongoing since the end of May from the Braunton transmitter. I live in the valley right next it with a clear view from my back garden. This happened at exactly the same time last year.

Gavin Copper:
As you've given very little information and without a full post code it's almost impossible to offer anything other than generalised comment and advise.
If I'm understanding correctly you have a clear view of the transmitter from your back garden?
Where is your aerial located? Does IT have a clear view of the transmitter?
Are there any tall trees, agricultural buildings etc on the direct line-of-sight between the aerial and transmitter. Any other structures? Any scaffolding etc.?
If I've also understood, you have no reception of any HD channels or BBC channels, just ITV/4/5 and sister channels and this continuously all through June and July? You say this was exactly the same as last year - exactly? through the whole of June and July? When did the signals return?
Do you have any amp/splitter to feed more than one TV? If so, where is this located?
Have you received a postcard from Restore TV?
Without that postcode we don't know if you could be suffering interference from a new/upgraded phone mast.
Have you changed or moved anything around in your installation?
Make sure that you don't have any HDMI leads, power cables, etc. running close to your aerial cable or flyleads. Check your coax plugs and accessible connections to ensure they are correctly connected.
Is there any new electrical equipment in your house or the immediate vicinity?
