Hello. TS10 2NU
I am having a problem with all three TVs in my property, with intermittent interference with picture and sound on all channels.
I have retuned all TVs with no effect. My aerial is on the roof of my bungalow.
Is there a problem with the transmitter?

James McDonald: You can check yourself, but I doubt it.
You dont say what you mean by 'interference' - that could mean anything. But check your signal strength, and which transmitter your actually tuned into. If its very high, then its likely your tuners are overloading (so remove a booster if you have one - you likely dont need it). If its very low, then your system as a problem, and evidently that would be before or at the point where the signal splits.

Since Bilsdale is out of action for the foreseeable future, Eaton Nab is now outputting additional uhf multiplexes to try and offer a partial service. Does anyone have the Freeview stations and multiplexes? Could they be posted here?
