BBC Freeview Channels "gone" - Maidstone

[Mel_P]

Hello,

They were there yesterday (Sunday 15th) - not here today (Monday 16th). (BBC1, 2, 3, 4, News Channel)

Happened on both TVs and not reappeared after factory reset.

Anybody else affected please?

Thanks, Mel

Retune maybe?

Retune maybe?

This.

The switchover is taking place across the country. Retune and they should reappear.

Please read. "Factory reset" = clear channels + retune. Tried twice. No effect.

'Please read'? Bit of an assumption to assume we would realise factory reset means you retuned it after, well, doing a factory reset.

Might be worth checking for any issues with your transmitter.

If both boxes went down simultaneously then the problem probably isn't at your end. You might just have to wait and see what happens. You can use TV Catchup in the meantime.

Thanks - just found this post here:

"I live in maidstone, and can see the bluebell hilltransmitter from my window. up until the engineering work last week I had all the digital channels and a fully working EPG, however since the work, my EPG is all mixed up the reception is bad and I have lost some channels. what's going on?? post code is ME14 2QQ"

So it's not just me!

A reset does not automatically retune it

It does for both of my TVs and my mothers TV.

Anyway forget my off hand comment! Apols.

BBC channels back and other channels gone now! Obviously "they" are messing about with the transmitter!
