Me too, no BBC1 or BBC2, but Sky Sports News has replaced BBC1 on the TV in the kitchen. The TV in the lounge has not lost any chanels.
Why is this? Both TVs use the same aerial/signal, any ideas.

Re tuned and got all mine back but I am getting worse break up at the moment on across the board, think the power is a lot lower as they swap stuff around?

Since they have been messing with the transmitter (and the temp mast that has been and gone) the digi tuner built in to my TV has stopped working but the HD recorder (freeview) works. So I assume that different receivers cope with lower transmit powers differently. I understand that the powers are low level at the moment and will be wound up after March 31?? Hopefully that will allow my TV with built in free view to start working again. Had the TV apart and the digi tuner sits after the analogue tuner on the board and I assume it is dropping the level by the time it gets to the digi tuner.

trv8, few things could be affecting it, I assume it was OK before the 3rd and you have retuned as per manufactures destructions?? If so it might be worth waiting until after the 31st. Also, I had to reset the recorder, it would not just retune. I think that resetting it cleared the memory and started afresh.

Anyway

Similar thing with me, got dvd recorder with digital built in and separate freeview box using the same aerial and all sorts of weird things happening differently on the two machines. Where I've lost BBC1 & 2 Wales I can still get BBC1 & 2 West (not such a bad thing!).
