E Thomas: There is no recent engineering work shown for the Newhaven transmitter. I would suggest looking for a source of local interference, probably something operating on a timer which comes on around that time. Also, no one here works for or has any connections with any broadcaster or transmitter company.

I had to retune my TV after the Freeview frequencies changed on 19th July 2018. Now it is getting all the channels on differenct frequenciews from before. This page still shows the old frequencies. What are the new frequencies for the Newhaven transmitter? I am not sure if my TV is now tuned to Newhaven or Lewes frequencies. It is getting poor reception now, which happened before because it was tuned to Lewes and should have been tuned to Newhaven.

Please go to the Digital UK Coverage Checker, Digital UK - Coverage checker and put in your post code and house number. That will then tell you which transmitters you can receive signal from and what channels are being used to broadcast them.

I haven't had any Freeview since 19th July. Is the Newhaven light transmitter still off air?
