Not strictly a computer issue, but maybe the best technology orientated place to post.
The reception on my digital tv has completely gone. It was fine up until 2 days ago, but now I struggle to receive any signal at all. I have tried disconnecting it, reinstalling the channels and messing with the aerial, all to no avail.
The signal is either very, very low or non existant, and I now a number of he channels inc. BBC1 & 2 have disappeared all together.
Could this be a transmitter problem or an issue with the box do you think? I initially put it down to atmospherics since we had a big thunderstorm in the area, but with no improvement, I am beginning to reconsider that!
Any ideas????

Since you mention thunderstorms, did you leave the aerial connected, and did it receive a secondary swipe?

It doesn't take a full strike to badly affect the receiver.

Tried the multi million dollar fix?

Turn it off, unplug it, plug it back in, turn it on again?

Try here to see if your transmitter is on reduced power etc:
