All:
There is a major retune event on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air overnight and the multiplexes PSBs1&2 move to new UHF channels. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours and may not be back on air until late morning or early afternoon.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; C41, C44, C47;
People will need to retune and a Group B aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of all multiplexes.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).

Should have included mentioning that PSB3 also moves. Also note the previous UHF channels were all in Group C/D, the new ones are in Group B.

If your signals have returned to normal, there could have been engineering work or a temporary fault.
