From Wikipedia: The ITV1 brand was introduced by Carlton and Granada in 2001, alongside the regional identities of their eleven regional companies. However in line with other terrestrial channels, ITV1's audience share has fallen in the era of multi-channel television. ITV existed in a region-heavy form from its inception to the 2000s, although the switch was gradual. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about ITV 1 (SD) on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Collin: You probably need no booster at all. Remove it from your system.

Collin: Digital UK's predictor predicts a low percentage probability of getting reliable results on the ITV1 multiplex at present (32%). The prediction is based on a single TV connected to a reasonably high-gain roof aerial using a relatively short run of satellite-grade cable.

On the 20th, all other multiplexes go high power when the analogue signals are turned off. The prediction goes up to 100% for all multiplexes.

An amplifier is likely to be necessary to offset the insertion loss of splitting the signal to 7 points - usually around 12 dB. The amplifier should have about the same gain as the loss in the splitter, to keep the level at each aerial point about the same as the system was originally set up for. We mostly deal with 'set-back' amplifiers or boosters added for who-knows-what reason, which aren't doing anything much useful, just adding noise. (Your set-top box or TV already has an automatic gain control: adding external gain just means the TV turns down the AGC to compensate. The amp only does anything if the TV's front end is particularly noisy, or if the signal is too quiet for the AGC to handle - but in this case there's probably too much interference to be usable.)

I once again am trying to watch a footballl match on ITV, from the billsdale transmitter.
21.20 13th of April. The reception is appalling.The signal is constantly breaking down. It looks like a video of a cubist painting.
How long are we to put up with this terrible reception on all channels.
Why buy a licence for some thing you can't watch. Why pay for advertising time that can't be understood. Why buy an expensive Digital TV.
regards
An irrate viewer

Michael McMahon: Sounds like you need to have your system looked at. I would see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

The TV Licence pays for BBC services only.

Using the Wrekin transmitter and after re-tuning my TV it seems that I can no longer received ITV1. Is there a problem in the area or os this a localised issue? For info, I already have 2 sets, one of which we havent re-tuned and is working perfectly for al channels.
