Apologies for UK Free down this morning
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Just a quick apology to everyone for UK Free TV being unavailable from about 9:30am until 11:30am today.
It seems that one of the memory chips in the dedicated server had gone wrong.
BPWeb, the hosting company replaced the machine and got everything back working within a couple of hours.
If you spot any problems... please let me know.

PTownsend: It may be that the interference isn't as great where your neighbour's aerial is or that it is less sensitive to it.
If your aerial is a Group A one (which it may be if it was installed in the days of four-channel analogue) then it won't be suitable for Heathfield; you will require a wideband for Heathfield, if indeed you can receive from it.
Group A aerials have red tips. See:
Aerials, TV Aerial and Digital Aerial
One possibility may be to mount the aerial on one side of the building where there is good reception from Hastings, but where the building acts to block the unwanted signals - if there is such a location.
Or the signals from Heathfield may be sufficient at your location and you may decide to cut your losses and go with a new aerial for it.

Jim Millard: Assuming that you are using the Huntshaw Cross transmitter then its BBC standard definition services changed channel overnight. A retune is required to restore them. See:

Ray Lindsay: Don't assume that just because its power indicator light is on that the device is functioning as it should.
Try bypassing it by connecting the incoming feed from the aerial to one of the feeds going out to one of the rooms. If the power supply for the amplifier is separate (perhaps behind one of the TVs) then remove it from the cable before bypassing the amplifier.

Ray Lindsay: I presume that you receive from the Kendal Public Service transmitter. Digital UK suggests you "may" be able to receive all channels from the Lancaster transmitter.
The two transmitters are both vertically polarised and are 21 degrees apart. You may be lucky and be able to use one aerial on bearing somewhere between the two so as to receive from both transmitting stations. This would allow you to continue to receive the PSB channels from Kendal and the Commercial (COM) channels from Lancaster. If your current aerial is a Group C/D one then this will probably have to be replaced with a wideband, or alternatively a separate Group A aerial for Lancaster combined (with a diplexer) to the existing Kendal aerial.
See here for which Freeview services are PSB and which are COM:
