Is it the weather?
Its been quite windy down here since yesterday,and last night my Samsung smart TV just went off...I had the constant message-'weak or no signal'. I checked my WiFi connection,and that's fine. I attempted several retunes,and could only get a maximum of 16 channels back. Of these,only the HD ones actually work. The others are pixilated. The 16 seem to come from two of the Freeview 'multiplexes'. So-I have some BBC HD along with ITV1 HD and C4HD,along with several other ITV and 4 versions that are unviewable.
Is it the weather? Is it a case of waiting til things calm down... Or is there anything I can do?
PS...there are no transmitter problems either.

I lost all my channels last night. I had to switch everything off at the wall - and leave it for 5mins. They all came back on then. Maybe a loose connection at the dish, if everything is ok inside?
My freeview to aerial is affected by weather !
So is Sky, if it rains heavily- which is the most likely time you'll want to watch TV. Seems a bit old-fashioned that it can be affected like that!

I'm guessing it must be the outside aerial...if my building has one. :-(
I'll have to see if my neighbours have had any problems.

Aarrgghhh....
I did as pixie suggested. Retuned-twice. Now I've even fewer channels...have lost all HD.
Sorry! Mine did that first time, but all came back when i left it off for longer.

*sniff*....*whimper*.....
Oh dear! I feel awful now. I looked on Sky website, which is what it suggested. If you look on my questions last night, helpful people posted some links. Hope they help.
