Ciaron Drain: There are no faults showing for Selkirk and you wouldn't be the only person to notice if there was a major fault at the transmitter so the fault is likely to be something in your aerial system. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV and do not attempt to retune as this will not fix a loss of signal and will likely make the problem worse.

Christine Clarkson:
Please check all your aerial cables and connections to ensure they are making good contact inside the sockets. Also try turning all your TV equipment off at the mains socket, wait five minutes and turn on again. After a further five minutes check to see what channels you can get. If that does not solve the problem your system has a fault that needs to be looked at by a qualified contractor.
