A few hours ago my digital channels were 'lost' and trying to retune them in failed as there is no signal (says 'signal lost'). Being new to the freeview scene a I am wondering if this is due to some sort of network outage i.e. IS anyone else in the christchurch area experiencing the same problem? Or is it just me and therefore something wrong with my tuner or aerial (although I get the analogue channels ok)? cheers Ravage	Ravage (6815)

So it could be that your aerial cable has come out of the TV, or been damaged somehow, or your aerial has been damaged / moved. Or, like you inquire there could be something wrong on the transmission end. I see that you say you get the analogue channels ok, does that include Prime? Freeview HD is transmitted on the UHF band, along with Prime, so if you don't have Prime, but have 1, 2 and 3, then this would narrow down the possibilities.	pine-o-cleen (2955)

No idea what caused it though cheers Ravage My freeview set top box occasionally comes up with signal lost, have to turn it off let it cool down and turn it back on. Has your tv got the required space around it for cooling?	prefect (6291)
