Sorry, I pressed return by mistake!!!

Since the switch over started in West Wales I have had problems receiving all freeview channels.

I have had a freeview box in the lounge for 6 years or so, this has been re-programmed when BBC2 analogue signal was stopped; and I have 2 other TVs that have built in freeview. We have had a digital aerial for 3 years.
Anyway, since the switch over started we have a problem getting ITV1 at all and many of the other channels have signal drop out so frequently that it is not worth trying to watch it.

My question is: Is this a taste of things to come or is the signal strength going to be increased significantly in the near future?

21st October is Latest Switchover date in North Wales. What is your Question ??

Can see your Question now. You will have to keep doing Full Re-Scans until the Changeover is Complete as they are changing round the Multiplexes (MUX). Channels will appear in different locations on your TV/Freeview Box, but once changeover is complete Transmitter Power will increase Tenfold and everything will stabilize.

Cheers, Red! That's what I needed to know.

BTY HTF do you get a full question, Title & Text, on here now? lol

Transmitter Power will increase 10 Fold once Changeover is complete and Analogue is switched off fully. It will take possibly 3-4 weeks before you are fully changed over so keep rescanning your Freeview.

To post a Question, once you have entered the Title another Box will appear below it for all the details !! lol
