On Wednesday evening I couldn't get BBC channels and Sky News channel on my freeview TV set . I got the message on the screen saying weak or no signal . It was the same on Thursday morning .
I re-tuned the TV on auto tuning and got the channels back .
I still don't know what was wrong , but the re-tuning worked .

I never have any problems with Sky these days, not even the odd solar flareYou get what you pay for, I will stay with cable its not dependant on the weather

Virgin use satellite dishes at their head ends to collect and distribute the TV channels down their cable/fibre. They use big dishes but bad weather can still be a problem for them.

Always fascinated variable digi-signal from Winter Hill only say 20 miles as the crow flies.
