No BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, CHANNEL 4 and CHANNEL 5 HD signal at 18:45 on 26 January 2020. Both television and BT YouView box affected, signal strength and signal quality show 0%. On SD signal quality and strength at about 96%.
This has occurred several times in the near past and usually the signal reappears. However, I do not have any dates recorded. Are there reasons for the loss of HD signal?

Brian Thomson :
The BBC have no reports of any problems with the BBCB HD multiplex in the last 5 days, nor this evening so far.
This certainly is odd if you are not noticing any loss of other channels. I take it you've not had loss of ITV/Ch.4 channels or any on the COM multiplexes at the same time?
You say "usually the signal reappears" - how long is it missing for?

Chris.SE: Re Rowridge COM 5 CH 22 Horz has been either low / no power for many days, yet vertical polarisation strengh in Worthing has been 100%
I have both H and V aerials installed so I can switch between the two during time of co-channel interference.
As there's no engineering reports of problems has anyone got any ideas.
Many thanks John.

I'm trying to tune 762.0 on TVHeadEnd (a Linux based TV server and recorder)... but there's nothing there. All other frequencies seem to be OK and channels are tuned. Should I be expecting an issue with 762.0 at the moment?
Thanks
Will

Although a different Ch No and freq COM 5 H on Rowridge has been dead until a few days ago and now back on v low power. Guess that's no help to you but might be an indication of work being done to COM 5 generally.

Not sure what you are trying to tune into there William, there's nothing broadcasting on 762MHz. If you are going by the list at the top of the page, I'm afraid it's out of date, the sire owner hasn't had time to do all the 700MHz clearance updates.
Whitehawk Hill's channels are now PSB1/BBCA C48, PSB2/D3&4 C35, PSB3/BBCB C36, COM4/SDN C32, COM5/ARQA C34, COM6/ARQB C33, LOCAL MUX/L-BTN C40.
If you click on each of the aforementioned channels, it'll give you the frequency if they aren't known/obvious to you.
HTH.

Hi @Chris.SE
Thank you so much. That's much appreciated.
I was using the out-of-date information above...
Using the info you provided, all is working well again and I once again have TV streaming in the house again! ;-)
Kind regards
