An earlier post implied that there is no 4G testing at the moment. I suspect many of the issues are out in the rural areas where there is no 4G anyway and signals are often marginal/weak.
We can't even get normal mobile out here!!

ryan: A postcode would have led to you being able to see if there was engineering work, but it seems unlikely. If you've lost all channels, there is something wrong with the aerial or connections.

Hi,
In your location you will be using the Rowridge transmitter.
There are lots of things that can cause loss of channels.
tv tuner
aerial
cable from aerial
any amps or splitters
outlet plate
connector on the cables
The transmitter has no issues so if you are going to try repairing yourself you should answer these
do you have more than 1 tv
if so then do the others work
do you have an amp that might be switched off
If so then you should think about replacing the amp for a splitter as reception is strong in your location
Is the cable or connections damaged?
are there any signs of damage to the aerial?

12 months after my last post the same problem has re-appeared: No HD channels but all SD from Hannington. Last year it was eventually put down to moving channels & after multiple manual updates eventually after an auto-update everything came back.
Clearly nothing to do with my receiver or antenna, but no admission of problems with the transmitter.
Someone must know what & why!

Nick Bayes: Unfortunately you didn't include a postcode, but I found one of your old posts - which shows your 19km from Hannington.
There are no problems with the transmitter, but your showing classic signs of too high signal strength - and engineering work seems to result in lots of this. Frankly, your previous post was a perfect example of the same thing - 100% is going to make the TV turner unhappy - 75% is perfect.

Michael Widen: If its doing it at the same time every night, then its electrical interference - check timers, etc and see this :https://ukfree.tv/fullstory.php?storyid=1107051307
Your just 12km from Hannington, but there is something big blocking the signal path about a km from you, but it would be strange for such a problem to occur only during Downton!
