Stockland Hill (Devon, England) transmitter
Saturday 8 January 2011 10:08AM

Phil Wallace: The power of the transmitter broadcast divided by the distance squared gives your the power received at the aerial, so the most powerful signal can come from anywhere as no two transmitters have the same output level.

You can find out the current magnetic variance here - Magnetic Declination - it is about 3 degrees west for you at the moment.

Jo: When you do something about it, I would suspect. See Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for some suggestions.

Derek Burton:

(1) No, not a FreeVIEW+ box, but a FreeSAT+ box. All about Freesat | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

(2) No, you can't watch subscription channels when not using a subscription. Dave is free-to-air on FreeVIEW only, not FreeSAT.

Anthony Johnson: OK, you need to do "Method 3" on the What can my do when my Sky Digibox says 'No Signal' or 'Technical fault'? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.

Really you need to call Sky and tell them you have changed your Freesat from Sky hardware, but this must be done from a UK landline or UK mobile phone whilst in the UK.

If Sky think you are using the card illegally for one moment they will disable it.

You don't need the card for C4 and FIVE if you do "Method 3".

Bobcatia: Yes, much as your would expect with a loft aerial. Move it to the rooftop for reliable HD reception.
