Richard,Tunbridge Wells.Yes it is the wrong type of weather as you phrased it,look up inversion effect that is the cause or reception difficulties you and a lot of people are encountering in most of eastern UK the last few days or so.I suffered with inversion myself on Sunday night (13 Nov 2011) not my local transmitter,Belmont (BBCA,D3+4,SDN mux's).So until rain sweeps in soon the inversion effect will more or less continue until low pressure sweeps in.

Still absolutely 0 channels on freeview, thankfully I have an old sky box and dish to watch my tv through. Have tried many scans to no avail.
I replaced my old aerial with a new digi type and a signal booster about 18mths ago.
Should I still be having this problem or do I need to wait for the inversion effect to clear. Cheers guys for any help on this. (Crawley RH10).

Hello all,
My freeview service worked 100% perfect until 12 Nov now I have lost all HD channels and the others are varialable from day to day. Have re-tuned with aerial in / out, read thru the excellent advice here and contacted the digital switchover helpline. My switchover isn't till Apr 2012.
I'm on ground floor of 2 storey flats with communal aerial. Using Toshiba FView HD Recorder & Samsung HD ready TV. Postcode is KT11 3HA
Neighbours have SKY so not affected.
Will lost channels be a prob till Apr 2012? Will buying signal booster help? Any one else local affected?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

CP reception problems in DA3
I doubt its the weather, looks more like something to do with the mux digital identifiers.
Appears to affect the more marginal reception areas so probably is not apparent to any tests they do at the transmitter.
Signal strength is around 1/2 as per normal but quality is very low on all channels.
Analogue is unaffected.
Stays like this until a rescan where it finds all the channels as before but they now have full quality, and work normally
This is the same on multiple different tvs in the household.

I have a roof aerial which is only three years old, and a booster.....over the past two weeks i have had no at all alot of the time and intermittent signal at all different times of day and night. It is extremely annoying and I called an engineer to come and check out my aerial but was told that the Crystal Palace transmitter is being worked on. No info on when this work will be completed. Am I still expected to pay my TV licence when I cant watch half my channels???

Hello
Can anyone explain why for the last two years my set top set recieves the channels in a different order than my hd tv (which gets the channels in order). My reception on the box is terrible. it has been for two weeks blank screen, broken images. I tried the ariel on a small portable, it was clear as a bell. If this is future god help us all.
