All channels were there on Monday but since yesterday we can't tune in anything. Tv seems ok (it has embedded Freeview), aerial too. I thought maybe some maintenance work could be the issue? but there doesn't seem to be any. We live in the Hotwell area.
Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Ale: Does the TV say 'no signal'? If so, thats what it is, and you can check at the top of the page for the status of the transmitter. If its working, then your system isn't.
