Hi, do we know when the new channel numbers for the MUX will be made known, because obviously I am going to need a new aerial as I currently have a C/D aerial.
Thanks

No Signal from Brierley Hill Transmitter, is this due to work that's due to commence today or a separate fault.
Was working fine last night with no signal this morning.

David Ratclffe : Check for any loose or damaged cables behind your TV and don't retune. According to the posts above and below yours there has been a fault at Brierley Hill today, so check again and if it still isn't working check with a neighbour to see if their Freeview is working.

Having watched a Freeview on the Amblecote transmitter for more than a year, I have been having channel dropouts and pixelated channels the past 2 weeks, then today I was told by Freeview that there are on Freeview transmitters in this area, what's that all about?

David Mullett: Check that you are
a) Tuned to the correct transmitter - my HD box flipped over to another transmitter after the required retune, although it later corrected itself, and other people reported similar problems.
Obviously if your equipment has locked onto a transmitter much further away, then the HD channels might be the first to go.
b) check your system - if your losing the same mux from 3 different boxes, that sounds like a common cause - and dodgy aerial lead would be a reasonable guess. If your signal strength is low, then thats a good indicator.

Since the August 3rd update all of the HD channels (BBC-B?) have disappeared from my Youview box, my Panasonic recorder and my Panasonic tv. I am on the Brierley Hill transmitter in the West Midlands. I have retuned all of the equipment several times without success.
I popped into a local tv shop who are on the same transmitter but at a different angle to me and they said they are still receiving the channels. Any Ideas?

David Mullett:
The tv and youview box are on two different aerial cables in the house although they go back to the same aerial and the problem only happened after the august 3rd retune date.

Then it sounds like a retune problem (check), or a problem with the aerial itself. Panasonic/Humax both have sensitive tuners, and its not impossible for them to grab a very weak signal at a lower channel level.
Put your postcode into the site, and it will bring up a load of links, which include terrain, DigitalUK, etc. That one has compass bearings for transmitters, and its not a bad bet that there might be one on a similar bearing, with a lower set of channel numbers, but much further away.
But if your tuned to the right transmitter, and your signal strength is low, then its your aerial.
