Syd - I live in Bidford so not overly far from you and have just retuned. ITV4 from Larkstoke is fine on all 3 tele's - may it be that you have too strong a signal and need to attenuate??
All I can report is that things have gone smoothly with the switchover, signal strength and quality have increased so I (and swmbo) are happy!!

still no joy from my philips HDT8520. I have logged a support call with them. I have tried using the scart instead of HDMI, no difference. It was working fine before switchover of lark stoke. In the interim april period I lost bbc channels and now I can't get anything at all. When I scan I get 65 channels but I can't view any of them. On the TV it is attached to (Finlux) I get everything but that doesn't record things. Hopefully philips will come up with something. Am I the only one with this problem....?

rich greenslade: Glad to hear you fix it.
You might have to do the same thing again when the commercial multiplexes change channel and power later in the year.
