jane: If there is a signal (booster) within the system then this could have failed or it could be without .

An amplifier without power or which has failed is likely to give out, even when there is one going in. Don't assume that even though its power light is on that it is in full working order; the light merely indicates that there is power to the unit.

Try bypassing the amplifier, if you can.

David Parker: NIMM stands for "Northern Mini-".

As part of the Good Friday Agreement, RT and TG4 are carried on three transmitters in the North to complement the overspill from transmitters in the Republic.

BBC News - RTE channels will go on Freeview in Northern Ireland

john parker: The that broadcasts BBC definition TV and radio on is being changed in the early hours of Wednesday 27th March.

As relays Mendip's (i.e. it receives the signal off the air) it will need to be retuned accordingly. Because there are lots of relays of Mendip, it will take time for engineers to visit them all, I should imagine.

There will be no need for you to retune, and indeed you shouldn't retune, as the change only affects the signal being received by Upavon , and not the one it broadcasts to you.

Incidently, Digital UK suggests that you might be able to receive the full service directly from Mendip. You will, of course, need another .

Don't worry if you're spelling is no good,sometimes my grammar can be called into question,however now i'm back after a near six months layoff due to my previous PC that died just after DSO2 on the and my just recent unexpected relocation from to Barnsley (where a family member of mine resides),i look forward to gracing the pages of this ever valuable website once again.

Have tried several retunes this morning on Humax PVR and am still unable to get BBC1 & BBC2 without them breaking up. Unable to get them at all with TV. Think we're on the and are in Winterbourne, Bristol

Lesley Green: What UHF are they (BBC definition TV and radio) coming in on? It should tell you on the strength screen.

's are now on , Bristol King's Western's are on , 's are on and 's are on .

Wenvoe is a high-power near Cardiff and is on roughly the same bearing as Mendip from Winterbourne, so this could be a possibility.
