Hi, I live in Cleedownton, SY8 3EH, focussed my aerial on Ludlow relay for the Ridge Hill transmitter. Reception frequently breaks up on BBC channels, other times it's ITV channels that break up, last 2 nights it's been all channels.
Recommended alternative transmitter is Clun, a relay for Wrekin & about 13 km distance from here. Any advice before I go up on the roof to re-point my aerial please?

From 9:02am on 18th Jan 2023 BBC A Off the air due to essential engineering
From 9:02am on 18th Jan 2023 BBC B HD Off the air due to essential engineering
Presumably it will be update when the transmitter is back on air.]
Do NOT retune!
