In Hutton, in view of the transmitter and aerial in loft. I re-tuned the digital TV this Saturday 8th Oct 2011. It took a few goes before I found out how to receive BBC West and not Wales. But during this week, I get "no signal" for BBC and instead have had to select Wales. Prior to the switch over, all the digital chanels were fine.

Since retuning after changes to Hutton transmitter on 28 Sep we lose channels in SDN, ARQA and ARQB multiplexes every time we switch off the TV, either power off or on standby.

Jo W: As Hutton doesn't carry those multiplexes, you will be getting them from Mendip or Wenvoe.
You can usually resolve the "not storing" problem by doing this: My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
