Jayne Howard :
As you can see from the post immediately before yours, the Woodbridge transmitter (assuming your aerial is pointing at it) is having Planned Engineering.
When you have no signal, Do NOT retune as this will clear your correct tuning or tune you to weak signals from another transmitter which then disappear, and you'll simply have to try retuning again when signals are back to normal.
You could receive several transmitters at your location (not all with good reception).
If your aerial is pointing at Woodbridge, it should be pointing at compass bearing 9 degrees (that's a few degrees E of due N) with its rods (or squashed Xs) vertical.
Your next best reception is predicted to be the Sudbury main transmitter, but local terrain or obstructions may make that not the case. If your aerial is pointing at Sudbury, that should be compass bearing 252 degrees - approximately WSW, with its rods horizontal.
If you did retune and have lost correct tuning, if your aerial points at Woodbridge, you'd be best manually retuning the UHF channels listed in the top section of this page.
If your aerial points any other way, please advise which way with more detail and we should be able to give further information & advice.
