Freeview in the Granada region has lost a MUX or whatever as we've lost ITV1/ITV2/Channel 4/Five/BBC Four and some other i've forgotten, this has not been working all evening. Anyone else experiencing this?

Transmission on all channels has been bad this evening here in County Durham due to the bad weather. Is it raining where you are?

Yeah, i've just done an auto retune and its now lost all those channels off the TV guide on the box. Looks like mux 2 is knackered. Will retune in the morning.

I've just checked our Freeview box and MUX2 appears to be working fine, we're even getting full Signals on ITV1, Channel 4 etc Shocked , though it's been raining here most of the day, it appears it hasn't affected DTT.

Well, I seem to lose my North West channels everytime it rains!

Get a clear picture on the Welsh channels though!

I'm pretty sure it's the Wrekin, and my Mux A is dodgy as well!

Bloody rain!

Apparantly this interference should stop once the analogue signal is switched off - so the sooner the better I say!

Whats all this "retune" business being talked about?

Once your channels are scanned and stored, aren't you just supposed to sit it out and wait for the signal to get through again? That's what I did.

Admittedly, the mux that supplied my ITVs and channel 4 were sometimes off for days at a time during remotely inclement weather. Just one of the reasons I gave up on DTT and had the cable installed.

In the North West, many of thechannels turned into the higher numbers when i did my weekly rescan. Then i did it again and all of the channels sorted themselves out.

I beleive it's a problem with some of the older boxes. My Parent's Panasonic box will find and store a channel, but when its loses the signal the channel will simple vanish from the box, thus resulting in an angry Mother and a retune.

I hope Mux A will be sorted when switch off happen's. I find it immensly annoying when I can watch Sky News in the morning and when I get home I can't. Do you find that Brekkie Boy?
