ann: No engineering work is being out on Belmont's Freeview transmitters, therefore the problem referred to has to be associated with your installation. If a jumper lead is being used to couple the TV into a wall socket, check that the connector plugs on both ends of the lead are fully inserted into their respective sockets.
On the issue of no sound from the Sky box, if this is coupled into the TV via a scart lead, then check it out in similar way as done with the jumper lead.
Further advice dependant on the outcome of the aforementioned.

Hi All.
Watching TV on Sunday 12/4/2015 and the channels form Multiplex COM4 and Multiplex PSB3 just seemed to go missing. It was quite windy at the time, so I adjusted my ariel with a broomstick, as you do, and it looked fine. I was wondering was there any problems with the transmitter, before I change the contract ariel (that has worked fine beforehand)
Regards.

Chris: Possibly yes, as its still listed in the planned engineering page with the status of "possible weak signal". Although a better assessment could be made with regards to whether or not your problem is likely to be connected with any possible reduction in power if you had indicated your location, i.e: post code or one from nearby such as a shop / post office.
By the way, that said is on the assumption that you are referring to Belmont.
