On Sunday 27 March i lost certain channels from my free view. I have an LG lcd tv with built in freeview. I have tried retuning my tv with no joy, also when i switch my tv to normal analogue i can watch channels 1 to 4 but 5 is un-watchable, from what i can gather from research is that i have lost all of the channels that are broadcast using MUX 2, i live in high wycombe and i think i am receiving my signal from the crystal palace transmitter.

Hi Briantist, i have established that i have single interference, so here is a bit more info, i live in a block of flats that i moved into jan 10th 2011, about a week after i moved in i tuned my tv using the digital selection on the menu and since then i received all the channels that are available on freeview in my area, also i am pretty certain that we have a communal sky dish on the side of the block because underneath it there is quite a large silver box, in my living room there is a normal aerial socket which i am using. Now am i likely to be receiving my signal through the sky dish or am i likely to be on a communal aerial that is on the roof of the flats, as silly as it may sound but i cannot see the roof of the building to see if there is an aerial up there or not.

Digital TV went berswick at 20:00hrs last night. I live in Thundersley, Essex - this site suggests I receive from Bluebell Hill. Without getting technical or too in depth, will it be back to normal this evening or do I have to fiddle about with it?
Aerial is new and professionally installed and on the chimney stack of my bungalow.
Thank you in anticipation.

Stephen: You will, therefore, be using Freeview and not satellite.
