We have been having reception problems since doing a retune in June, after much talk with Freeview we did manage to get some West programmes but ITV West has always been bad, either no signal or breaking up, now we can't get BBC West, I did a retune this morning and the only programmes we can get are from the Welsh transmitter or HD programmes which is still no good for local news, we have been told that out ariel should face the Hutton transmitter, which it does, we can even see it at night from our house. Thinks just seem to be getting worse, before long we won't be able to view anything.

Christine Carpenter:
Please check the signal strength on your TV, usually shown on the manual tuning page. Ideally you want between 60% and 85%. Less is not good and more can give reception problems.
