Can anyone confirm if Mux 2 has the weakest signal. Can't seem to get a decent reception in Tonbridge today.

Briantist, I don't think I own any devices that could be causing interference. Is it possible the signal from my pc's broadband is causing interference? Mind you, since our aerial was changed I was able to receive all the freeview channels with no problems - the problem started this week so the only thing I can think that has changed is the strength of the signal on Mux 2

To be honest unless the upstairs flat has a games console on all the time which is causing single frequency interference I think the signal to Mux 2 has dropped so much that we would need a wide-band aerial upgrade which would require the permission of our apathetic freehold company. Just a bit fed up with this as for several months its been a good signal on all multiplexes and now this week I've lost one entire multiplex

I think the phrase is ARGH! Just moved my booster 2 inches back and got the signal back.
