I live in Lancing west sussex and have been receiving very poor reception on all analogue tv channels and also freeview Digital BBC1 BBC 2 BBC3, BBC news and a couple of others ie those which correspond to MUX 1 for some weeks now. Any thoughts non what the problem could be

Derrick Lord- It could be that an external appliance has developed a fault, or a lead has malfunctioned. If applicable, try putting the aerial lead direct into the TV. You could also have a fault with your aerial itself.

Just a line to thank you for replying to my question about Rowridge FM transmissions. I guess I will just have to watch (or listen to) this space. Happy New Year, as well.

We are having trouble receiving Ch. 37 programmes on Freeview. All seems to be o.k. in the morning, but in the afternoon the signal deteriorates - some channels pixxellated, others no signal at all. It remains like this for the rest of the day and evening. We've tried disconnecting other appliances but it makes no difference. Seems to be a signal problem - received from Rowbridge - any suggestions?

Spooky. Ch32 signal strength definitely dropped off dropped off around 27 Dec. I'd already switched off the gaming stations before posting here and despite Briantist's very swift response (thank you) to say that there was nothing wrong, I didn't do anything more to my TV/DVD recorder as I remained convinced that it was a transmitter not receiver or interference issue. Yet lo and behold, when staff return after the Christmas break, I now have a strong signal on all Ch32 stations. I wonder why?

I'm in Chandlers Ford, and currently am having problems with mux C channels. The signal strength is considerably lower than all other muxes (including Mux 2 and A).

Re CH32. I am in Southbourne, also having problems with weak or no signal for some weeks. Had the Aerial engineer visit, he installed a mast amplifier to loft aerial. I then retuned and stored manually all the stations on ch32 and everything was ok. Two days later they have gone again. What to do now ?

Tony Thomas: Move the aerial to the roof. Loft aerials are not suitable for reliable Freeview reception.
