I'm an OX28 resident with a very old Group C/D antenna.
Digital reception is as follows:
Ch 29 (MuxD) - Very good
Ch 34 (Mux1) - Very good
Ch 48 (MuxC) - Good
Ch 51 (MuxA) - Good
Ch 52 (MuxB) - Good
Ch 68 (Mux2) - Medium
Given that most digital transmissions from Beckley are on reduced power, the signal I'm getting is fine.

iandc: Try it without the booster. You shouldn't need it and it could be harmful.

We are getting a complete crash of sometimes all channels, sometimes just BBC channals, almost every evening starting from 9-9.30pm for the remain of the evening.
Would you please advise on the source/cause/corrected action to take

My ITV and Ch 4 etc reception in Sutton Courtenay is "Poor" all of the time and often breaks up but for last few days when I switch TV on in morning it says new channels found. ITV then shows NO signal and I have to rescan and get normal poor ITV channel again. Today however, after rescanning no ITV, Ch 4 etc signal at all. Presumably something being done at transmitter yet again.....will be glad when signal strength increase anf I can actually watch ITV properly.
