I've lost all my Com 6 channels since the retune at the beginning of November. Digital UK says I should not have been receiving them anyway, but I was and am really disappointed to lose them on the retune. I see that there are current engineering works to the Preseli mast, I hope this will mean that the missing channels will return.
