Freeview issue - got me completely confused??

[matt3001]

For background we live in a central London flat (SE1) and have two aerial sockets provided to the flat (lounge / bedroom) and one sat socket.

Last week we appear to have lost all our freeview channels bar 3 (London tonight and two low-rent movie channels) both in the lounge on the main TV (both TV direct and via Youview box). Retune did nothing. And also the bedroom TV (TV direct) - again just the same 3 channels available.

Spoke to the property agents this morning and they say no one else has reported an issue and say the issue must be localised. I personally think this is BS as I have tried 3 devices in both sockets and get the same result. However, it is strange its unreported elsewhere in the block?

Any ideas?? Our TV has freesat so we aren't without TV completely, but it has made our YouView box totally useless.

I'd suggest you ask a neighbour first.

Maybe see if you can get the channels back with a booster aerial?

I'd definitely ask a neighbour. If they say they are good then I would be insisting that the management company check the other end of your cables.

It wouldnt be the first time someone has unplugged the wrong thing. The channels you are picking up could just be the wiring to the distribution unit picking up a signal.
