No Signal
A few days ago, we had a message when we turned on the TV that something was happening on 10th April and that we might have to retune after a couple of hours (I didn't take much notice tbh, as we have Sky).
We've had no Freeview signal all day and I wondered if anyone knows what's going on. We live in Manchester and I think ours is the Winter Hill transmitter. Ta in advance!

Just do a standard Freeview retune and see what you get. If that's not satisfactory then by all means repost about what's still wrong.
I had one of those messages, so I did a retune and now I've lost all my BBC TV and Radio channels. It's now gone 8pm and they're still missing. I also live in Manchester.
They're on air. But some receivers won't store them unless a first time installation or factory reset is done. Alternatively, try manual retune (if available).
From the main Winter Hill transmitter, the missing BBC channels are now on UHF channel 50. (not the actual channel 50 on your box)
They have been doing some moving to get ready for 4G mobile broadband so a retune is required
should be along the lines of Settings Installation Add New Channels or something like that
I have been able to get them before but it isn't finding them for some reason.
I can manually retune but the signal quality is not there but the signal strength is at a full 10 on my Panasonic Viera.
It's not unusual for the signal "quality" to be lower on the HD mux than the DVB-T muxes.
The winter hill mast can be seen from my house so perhaps. Is there anything I can do? Cheers for your help by the way
I'd have a look for the TV or Freeview box manual or search online for it. If neither yields a result then you'll probably have a Menu option on your remote control. Press that and you should have options like tune/retune, install/reinstall or reset/factory reset. Go for those and if you need to enter a PIN code then it'll most likely be 0000 or 1234.

No BBC1, no BBC 2 and no BBC news channel.
It is picking up every other channel perfectly fine with no prob at all.
I cannot make any sense of all that really?
