No change in freeview since my post at 2.00 and analogue also unwatchable. Just wondered if freeview transmission power reduced to even lower levels than recently. Until today BBC etc has always been ok with poor signal/pixelation on ITV etc? Digital TV ceratnly not "working mormally" for me today.

MH: Have you seen the above "Transmitter engineering" notes?

Thanks for feedback. Transmitter engineering notes appear to indicate TV digital working normally but analogue liable to interruption. Am I msiing something re freeview (digital?)?
