Hi, i live in Wigan, and my girlfriend rang to inform me that all the channels have gone off? going to do a search when i get home, but just wondering, when it does go pop, will we lose everything?

Thanx

The free channels include 1-5, other BBC services including the active screens and in some areas the ITV 2/3/4 +1 channels
