TV transmitter changes wednesday

[JeremyClarksson]

I don't know about other areas but on our TV we retuned as suggested and we have now lost several channels and we had all the channels before.

We have lost Film4 amongst others which we watched quite a lot, luckily we still have it on Freesat.

We live in the Bristol area and the full switchover is not until next year.

How is everyone else finding it?

p.s. If you have lost some channels it is worth checking the end of the channel list as they may be there and can be moved but this did not help us with Film4 although I found the new Five there.

Film 4 is on channel 15. If you've lost channel 15, you will also have lost channels 12, 18, 21, 22, 24, 25, 32, 35, 36, 40, 45, 85, 89, 94 and 96 as all these channels are on a single mux (transmission) from your transmitter.Do you know which transmitter you are watching?

It says West on the details but we have always got our analogue signals from the Mendip transmitter.

Other channels we have lost are Dave ja Vu, ITV4, Virgin1+1 and more.

I expect it will be OK when they turn off analogue for us next year.

It's possible the changes mean that the missing programmes are now broadcast on a different channel than before. I would suspect your aerial is not a 'wideband' and is not receiving a strong enough signal on the new channel. Are you sure all is OK with your aerial? It should be a wideband high gain.
