Mike Fisher: Sounds like you have a box which stores the version on the first frequency it finds, not the best version. The rating on Digital UK's postcode checker for Ridge Hill is higher, but that's if your aerial is pointing at the transmitter, not away from it!
You'll have to delete the channels and manually tune on C34, if you're certain that the aerial points to Bromsgrove.

andy: Frequently people have overdone their efforts to receive the low-power digital signals before switchover, particularly where they were in the analogue coverage area but not in an area covered by the digital radiation pattern. After switchover, when transmissions move to the main antenna, they find that signals are too large.
If you have a booster or amplifier, you probably don't need it. Try removing it. If you don't have one or that doesn't help, you might need to add an attenuator if you're quite close to the transmitter.
I see you had a new aerial fitted in November - did you get a guarantee with it? Can you get the fitter back in to adjust the system?

sorry me again in Droitwich aerial set for Bromsgrove.
I have today purchased a new tv and when setting up it gave me a choice of region , gloucester or west midlands. I chose west midlands and it tuned channels
23-24-26-33-34.
This tv seems to be out of sync with all my other tvs

If I retune the new tv to gloucester region all the tvs are talking etc. at the same time, if I tune the new one to west midlands it's sound and pictures are a second or so in advance of the rest.

mike fisher: Yes, this will happen, this is because of the use of different multiplexing equipment for the different regions. All digital transmission systems require buffering, and so you can get this effect.
