Although it doesn't appear to be affecting the Berkshire area particularly badly at the moment, there has been an issue in certain areas with Freeview reception and you are advised in the event of some new channel breakup to not retune your TV, as the problems should disappear after a short period.

"Freeview viewers across the UK could see some disruption to their TV reception from Wednesday the 15th to Sunday 19th January 2025. This is due to high pressure which could disrupt the TV signals which Freeview uses.
