Freeview Channels - Missing

[Jamjar74]

Retuned my tv today as several channels were showing "Scambled, poor signal, unavailable. Heavy rain Nottinghamshire today. After retuning several channels were missing, Free view 10, 30, 31, 20, 46, 60, to name but a few. Have retuned several times but to no avail.

Any suggestions welcome. Have a Humix box. Do I have to wait for the weather to clear?

Thank you.

Got all of those here (Kent) so possibly is the weather!

I heard on the radio this morning that users of freeview channels should retune them today, I didn't really take much interest as I'm with sky but that could be the problem and not the weather

[Jamjar74]

Thank you both. Will just wait and see.

I too am in the Nottingham area. This might help ,when I entered my postcode it reported no retuning required at this time.

I hope you get it sorted, have any of your neighbours the same problem? (those using freeview)

I don't feel I was much help but best of luck

It's clearly a case of insufficient signal strength. See my post here for the technical background:

Then get one of these

to fix the problem.

I often lose channel 10...............

[Jamjar74]

Have exactly the same lost channels. Rtuned about 4 times before I got them all back with the exception of 46. I think it must be due to the weather although I do not know why as have checked transmitted and ti says there are no problems there. I live in Worksop Notts.

Further to my previous response We also have a Humax box.
