Could you please tell me the correct location co-ordinates for the Freeview Transmitter at Crewkerne, Somerset, UK?
The listed co-ordinates actually place the transmitter in the Indian Ocean between Somalia and the Seychelles!

Watching Tv tonight and for no reason every channel stopped except BBC (and they are very jumpy). Very, very annoying.

I am in Crewkerne, have a powered antennae with line of sight to mendip 27 miles away.
I receive every freeview channel 5/5 except ITV which has some peculiar habit in that it pixilates or is not available unless I tape the coaxial (5ft) cable to the top back side of the TV when it works perfectly.
I have this on my present TV and also had it on the previous one. The coaxial connections are fine as evidenced by the fact that every other channel has a strong signal. Can anyone suggest why only re-positioning the coaxial cable between the socket and the TV makes ITV work when none of the other channels are affected

Have you seen Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you ?

David:
The signals may leave the transmission mast atabout the erp (effective radiated power) but the atmosphere affects different signals differently. So services on different muxes are affected differently.
If you signal strengths are high, as you state, you could be suffering, as Briantist suggests, from signal overload. That may be the problem with your ITV reception. Ideally the signal strengths should not exceed 80% but should be more than 50% to get a reliable service. The signal quality should be higher than 60% on most equipment for satisfactory reception.
