I have been unable to receive any tv since 1.00pm today. My main tv comes through free view and my second tv is a normal terrestrial tv. Aerial is in the loft. Please can you tell me if there is a general fault in this area or do I need to do something?

Bronwen Cattell: Freeview is digital terrestrial TV (there has been no analogue TV for several years) so I'm not sure what you mean about your two TVs being different. There are no faults showing for the Weymouth transmitter so you need to check your aerial system. Do you have any loose or damaged cables or connections. Does the cable from your aerial go through an amplifier? If so, check that the amplifier has power going in to it and it hasn't been inadvertently switched off or unplugged.
