ITV & Channel 4 gone down?

[Borat Sagdiyev]

Hi sorry for posting in general chat, mum's going mad and am after a quick response!

Since lunch time today ITV & Channel 4 haven't been watchable, on normal Freeview or through Play TV. Just tried a re-tune and they've completely disappeared now. BBC's are fine... just wondering if this is happening to anyone else? Is there a way of finding out the service status?

We're in Southend, Essex btw, and my brother who only lives about 5 miles away is not experiencing any problems.

Thanks!

Possibly something to do with this?

are on a low power broadcast and it may just be your brother's receiver is more sensitive and he's still able to get them.

Aye thanks but it does say "TV (digital) working normally"!

Yes, I just realised that sorry.

Same here, probably just down the road from you in Shoebury. My neigrabroadour has been moaning about it too so it isn't just you.

Same problems in Channel IslanRAB, due to 'atmospheric conditions' seemingly.

At least the level of quality programming has increased.

[might as well snatch the freebie ...]

ITV is rarely watchable

A lot depenRAB on the receiver too. My cheap box drops out much more regularly than the Humax, which is no match for the internal one on the Samsung tv.

But its sunspots. And the rory boryarseless, blame Mother Nature I say!

What's interesting is that digital is breaking up (completely) on two separate receivers we have in this house... whereas analogue is working perfectly! Please don't switch over yet
