Hi all
I am in Se18 ( plumstead area ) I have an aerial in the loft facing south west towards shoots hill (crystal palace is over on the other site which is parley why we have such a poor signal in se18 .
A few years ago i put foil on the wall just behind the aerial which had improved the reception in the loft. Over all the reception has improved recently .
What i have notice is we are also getting transmission from multiplex from BBC Bedfordshire. I can watch the local news on channel 1 ( BBC 1 London south east ) as well as on channel 800 which give me BBC 1 ( look east - Bedfordshire ) ? I could only assume the multiplex for BBC Bedfordshire has much strong signal and is must be bouncing off shooter hill . When we have lost BBC 1 from crystal palace. I can still get a very good picture from Bedfordshire. The multiplex has BBC 1, 2 cbbc ect. On channel 800 to 804.
BBC look east Bedfordshire in on channel 800 and BBC south east London is on channel 1 is because the TV is set to the post code SE18 1RN.

Hs: You're probably picking up Sandy Heath. It has already switched over to digital, so its signal is full power (equivalent of its former analogue service).
In April the power of Crystal Palace will be increased (to the equivalent of the current analogue) and your problems will hopefully be over.
