Ann Fletcher: Firstly, retuning was a bad idea and will never fix a weak signal (all you are doing is deleting your correctly tuned channels and searching for them again). You need to find the cause of the problem (check for loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV etc) before retuning again (use the manual tuning function if your TV has one) to the correct transmitter (we need a full postcode to see which transmitters you are predicted to receive).

Hi, I am in Flintshire North Wales and I have two issues.
Firstly, recently I have lost BBC1 Wales HD and ITV1 Wales HD from my Freeview TV upstairs. The downstairs TV still has access to them and when I plug my TV into that aerial socket I can receive them again. Why would these channel disappear from upstairs? I can also only JUST receive the standard definition channels. If you move the aerial connector around it can pixalate/disappear. Also I can easily receive BBC1 HD (not Wales) and ITV1 HD (Granada) and BBC1 North West and ITV1 Granada with no problems. Why have the Welsh channels gone so weak upstairs when downstairs is so strong? Obviously I don't want to watch news based in Liverpool/Manchester. I think this happened last summer too and when winter arrived I got the channels back. Do I need to call an engineer out to look at the cable?
Secondly I have lost all access to some channels including QVC HD, More4 1, BBC4 HD and the new channel Now 80s which should be on channel 88. And this affects all freeview TVs. Why have they all disappeared?
Many thanks for any advice.

Steven Tattum: Are both TVs fed from the same aerial? If the downstairs TV is fine that would suggest that you have a problem with the cable/socket upstairs. Please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage for further advice on the missing COM8 channels (BBC Four HD, QVC HD, etc).

Hi StevensOnln1, the TV upstairs comes in from a cable from the attic and the one downstairs comes from a cable he drilled straight into the kitchen wall where he connected it to the satellite dish on the rear wall I think.
I am in CH54FY. Today though the missing channels from COM8 returned.

Steven Tattum: You can't receive Freeview from a satellite dish. If the downstairs TV is using a satellite receiver (either a Sky/Freesat or other generic box or built in satellite tuner) then that has nothing to do with Freeview. You need to examine your setup and check where the cables actually go (as far as you can safely access) and check for any loose connections, damage to the cable etc.

Hi
StevensOnln1. I was wrong the cables to the downstairs TV literally go past the satellite dish however it continues to go up into the attic. I've been to look in there and both cables (one for downstairs TV which can get bbc1 Wales hd and itv Wales hd and my cable which cannot get either channel) go to the same point which is the aerial on the chimney. Two.people have looked at my cable and they can't see why it's stopped getting those channels. I've tried manually tuning it to channel 60 and 0 channels are found. The cable reaches half way around my room and I have to use an extension to get it to the TV. A 4m extension cable from argos does not give me any Welsh channels whereas a 3m one from B&M only doesn't give me the hd Welsh channels. I have tried plugging it into the aerial socket direct by taking the TV there but no luck. Is it worth calling Flintshire aerials back to ask him to replace the cable?

StevensOnln1 - Flintshire Aerials came out and found that the cable to my room had been crushed in the attic by boxes (thanks mother!) and was only transmitting half the signal it should have been doing and replaced the cable and also fed it down the opposite wall meaning it can plug straight into the TV. I now have BBC1 Wales HD and ITV Wales HD back and a much stronger signal on all channels.

Storeton transmitter stopped transmitting 2 days ago. Nobody in our neighbourhood is receiving a Freeview signal.

I can find no reference to the Storeton transmitting being off air. Please check all your aerial cables and connections.
