Freeview loss of music channels

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I live in a poor signal area where our nearest Transmitter - Nottingham can't be received, we have to settle for the Sutton Coldfield Transmitter  & West Midlands News so no local Derby News.

This is not a biggie as we could use our Freesat Box for East Midlands News - we have now lost lost our Satelite Signal as the old Sky dish must be 20 years old.

To make it all worse we seem to have lost a few Freeview channels such as Thats 60s & Thats 90s music. Visually the Aerial on the roof looks okay - new Ariel & signal booster was fitted in 2018 after our fire.

What is the most likely cause of the Freeview loss of signal?

Nurse Julie:
I would start by checking the points gap Ted ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Laverda Dave:
Try unplugging everything to do with the Freeview Ted and leaving for 30 seconds before switching back on. I've had similar issues with our Virgin TiVo box and that usually cures it.
I guess the Freeview equipment is in the TV but worth unplugging anyway just to check.
My 90 year old mother received a letter from e-on a couple of weeks ago advising her the BBC are closing down a number of transmitters across the country in a few weeks and this will affect her existing electricity and gas meter and she needs to switch to a smart meter! I don't know if this is true or just BS by E-on to get her to change to a smart meter that she doesn't want.
On the bright side you haven't missed anything on the TV, it's all rubbish 🥱.

I havn't had a TV in many years and I don't miss it or the extortionate license fee! For free music I just love smoothradio.com , I access it from here: https://internetradiouk.com/

Bryanj:
The electricity bit is for economy 7 & 10 users where the meters take a time signal from a bbc signal that is being shut down and the only way to keep those tarrifs is a smart meter, you do not HAVE to hae one but if you donou loose the cheaper overnight tarrif
