Does anyone know who I can contact to find out why the television signal strength in my area has deterioated in the last couple of days. ITV, Channel 4 and five are all very weak terrestrially and my freeview digital box can not detect several channels when I retune. Any suggestions as to what I should do or who I should contact?

I am having the same problem with Freeview. Anything on UHF channels 42 and 45 is completely useless.


I also hope that someone out there knows what is happening.

I would ring my loca TV repair shop (not Currys Dixons etc) as the guys in these small shops tend to know this info. Good Luck
I havent looked lately but it is probably still there if you look on Teletext and then under Engineering it lists the transmitter stations running on reduced power and the dates expected for the maintainence work to be completed.. I think there is also phone numbers on the BBC pages regarding interference and signal problems.

Thanks Tellboy, that was most helpful. Ceefax page 698 has a lot of very useful information and telephone numbers.
This can happen when the aerial becomes out of alignment. You also need to make sure that your aerial matches the polaristion of then transmitter, if you have previously had a good picture, the polarisation should be correct. A good aerial fitter would test the signal for you with a field strength meter.
This can happen to me when it rains. I put it down to water getting into the aerial connections and reducing the signal. Check with neighbours to see if they are also affected.
Hi, I have had the same problems as you over the last week or so, but now, I've lost all signal to my tv. Any idea on how to fix this?
