The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

Can't find any reports of faults listed by Freeview or the BBC, and the transmitter isn't currently listed for Planned Engineering.
Check that you are correctly tuned to the UHF channels for this transmitter (as listed above). Check all your connections and that the aerial is pointing the correct way (also vertical polarisation). There is another Relay transmitter close by - Dunkeld Town which is even lower power - UHF channels C23, C30, C26 for PSBs1-3 and in a different direction.
Post back with a full postcode and which way your aerial is pointing if problems continue.

Russell Cobban:
Additional information - If the site postcode is PH8 0JR the aerial should be pointing at the Dunkeld transmitter 3km away, bearing 102 degreees that's 12 degrees S of due E.
The Dunkeld Town transmitter (bearing 34 degrees - slightly N of NW) is not predicted to give good reception of the PSB1&2 multiplexes as it's very lower power even though it's closer (1km).
