Giving up really. It's good/bad regardless of weather and muxes etc. Might be the TV, that's old on top of the DVR so getting a newish box in from elsewhere. Kind of need a good Film 4/ITV4 the latter especially for the cycling. Needs must etc.

I live in the LU3 area. During the day dsy I cannot get channels Pick TV, Yesterday, film 4 and many others. I usually can get them later at night. What is the reason for this and how can it be corrected, if at all?

Floyd: I can only be very general without knowing a location and which transmitter you are using.
If you're receiving from Sandy Heath, then many others have reported issues via this site in different places.
We know that there are due to be changes on or after 27th June that should improve the signal, so see how it goes.

Rob: Different receivers have differing sensitivies, and the signal may be marginal (i.e. a bit touch and go).
This is particularly the case as the Commercial multiplexes from Caldbeck (which carry Film 4 among others) are on low power until 24th October when Northern Ireland switches to digital. This is so as to protect against interference with its pre-switchover signals.
If your problem TV has manual tuning, then you need to manually tune to UHF channel 29.
Other possibilities include taking the problem TV to the aerial socket used by the other TV. Or if the TV aerial is fed via another box (e.g. a recorder), then try removing the box from the wiring so that the aerial socket is connected directly to the TV.
If the TVs are running off the same aerial and you are using a powered booster to split the signal, then try reducing the level of amplification (if it allows). If you can bypass the booster/splitter and connect the aerial to the feed directly to the problem TV to see if it makes a difference.
Once you have Film 4, Yesterday and other services on C29 (the "ArqB" multiplex), then don't retune. If you loose them then it is a problem with lack or too little signal and not tuning. Retuning is likely to result in wiping the services from the memory.

Dave thanks for your reply but I fixed it!! I changed the co-ax to thicker stuff and got a new 3 way splitter and male and female connectors......I was using cheap stuff off e-bay, you get what you pay for eh? But now I get all channels no problem.
Cheers,
Rob.

Floyd.Luton,LU3.If you want to find out which transmitter or relay mast you're using,then a full postcode preferably not a partial one will ascertain the reception possibilities at your location as such.
Unless you do we cannot really help you !

Floyd: A more specific location and direction of your aerial might be of help for us to identify which transmitter you are on.
