I have no signal at all/tried retuning since 21/9/11 no success. (I have sky tv which is ok.) but if i try to retune my tv+1tv upstairs to watch without going via sky they have no signal. they are both brand new tvs with freeview built in. yesterday i managed to get bbc 2 and itv but now they have disappeared. the ariel is on the roof and ok.
I need to be able to watch without going through sky as sometimes someone else is watching a different channel so we have to watch via normal tv.

You say: 'no problems at Wharfedale transmitter'. But in fact there is a big problem affecting many Freeview viewers in different parts of Ilkley, in that the BBC MUX is intermittently off air for long periods. (Other channels are OK). On 28 Sept there was a 5-hr gap, and today all BBC channels are only occasionally viewable. Message is always 'poor signal' or 'no signal', and the trouble always seems to start around 13.00 hrs. Please investigate. My postcode is LS29 9NG.

Tony Scull: The 'no problems' message comes from scraping the BBC's reception website, and this is only done periodically. By clicking through the 'BBC Reception Test' link, I can see there actually was a problem reported from 13:08 to 13:13 today.
To report a problem, go to BBC - Reception problems , select 'No' under 'Does this answer your question' and click Continue. If you keep following through the wizard, eventually you get to a form where you can enter a problem report.
If you still have problems that don't match up with the BBC website, it's possible that you have too much signal. See Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
