Hello,
A week or two ago we were told to retune our TV after work had been carried out. Since then, it only picks up BBC Wales channels and has interference on these. I have tried erasing channels and retuning again but still we only receive Wales, whereas we're in the 'West' region and usually get these. ITV is fine.
If someone could advise, that would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Abbie

You need to manually tune to the Hutton transmitter channels; 21, 24 & 27. You need to have Group A or T aerial with the small rods vertical.

Hi Mike,
I've tried doing this. CH21 (BBC channels) is only going up to about 3/4 on the signal strength and not finding any channels. We have a T' aerial I believe.
Thanks,
Abbie

Go to the Digital UK Covergae Checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…er/, put in yopur full post code and house name/number, select the Detailed View option then press Go.
Scroll down the reslting listings to your chosen transmitter and check what they suggest is the reception conditions. If all the bars are green then your reception should be good. If it is not then check all your aerial connections, unplugging any coaxial plugs/sockets and then refit them. Then check your signal strengths again. If they are below 60% then you may need to have your aerial checked in case it have moved perhaps.

We have been having reception problems since doing a retune in June, after much talk with Freeview we did manage to get some West programmes but ITV West has always been bad, either no signal or breaking up, now we can't get BBC West, I did a retune this morning and the only programmes we can get are from the Welsh transmitter or HD programmes which is still no good for local news, we have been told that out ariel should face the Hutton transmitter, which it does, we can even see it at night from our house. Thinks just seem to be getting worse, before long we won't be able to view anything.

Please check the signal strength on your TV, usually shown on the manual tuning page. Ideally you want between 60% and 85%. Less is not good and more can give reception problems.
