Janice: As the comment to anne, it could be that your TV is not tuned to the transmitter to which your aerial is facing. There are a number of transmitters that serve different parts of Sheffield.
Perhaps we can help you check that you have the correct channels tuned in.
Maybe you could answer the same questions I put to anne. Also, your post code might help us assist.

I am on the Malvern (Worcestershire)transmitter, which relays the Sutton Coldfield signals. My Freeview BBC channels went of the air tonight (13/11/2011)during Strictly too, like all the other commentators mentioned above.Those people could not have the same problem all at once at the same time!! I have done a few retunes as perscribed, but no positive results. Also the other programs went to "widescreen mode" wiping off the subtitels in the process. I think there is nothing wrong with our aerials or equipment. It is the transmitter that is playing up big time!!!All these problems started after Switchover. I had an analogue TV fed through a digital converter box and it worked fine for years! Until now!! Freeview needs to address the problem better, perhaps with TV announcements prior to engineering work!!
