The reason I commented was not because I had no signal. I have lived at this address for several years and never had signal. What has baffled me is the intermitent signal that we are now enjoying. Some of the time we have the whole multiplex at good quality, the rest we have zero on any channel.
I have seen what the predicter says though I have lived at addresses where this has been rubbish in the past.
I will just have to wait and see if when all the multiplexes are over, what we get.

I have just done a full retune. I'm on the Hannington transmitter. However Muxes A and 2 are pretty much unwatchable as the picture jumped and skips and the 'Signal Level' bar jumps up and down. It used to do this for Mux C but thats now fine. The other muxes are fine.
I have a Hitachi HDB72 Set top box. The funny thing is Mux 2 has always been bad, but Mux A was fine before Christmas. Even changed the flylead and the aerial, even though I'm in a communal flat, is fine. Any solutions? All muxes were fine on the evening of the 8th Feb (the date of the first stage of the switchover), but now is back to the Muxes 2 and A being unwatchable.

Nick: I think your best option is to wait 10 days for the second stage of the DSO when all signals should improve significantly.

The commercial multiplexes will increase power on 22nd February. However, they will continue to be radiated using the pre-switchover antenna array which is not omni-directional (it throws out less signal in the direction of Guildford).

I should add that the situation with the commercial multiplexes will change on 18th April and they will switch to using their final switchover antenna.

Thanks Andy, I will do. However I am confused as to how I can receive other relatively low powered muxes such as C and D but not 2 and A (which have a higher power than the forementioned muxes)!

Nick: 40, 43, & 46 are all used by Guildford analogue, which is transmitted at a much higher power. It is probably upsetting your Freeview tuner even though it may be coming off-axis to your aerial.

Nick: I suffer from the same problem and I've found that some Freeview tuners cope better than others with this. I have also found that fitting an attenuator can help in some cases. Having said all that though, I think it's probably easier to just wait 9 days and reassess the situation.

Currently I receive analogue form Hannington( 16km ESE) with an internal aerial + amplifier. I get no Digital channels. Will the DSO boost Hannington's digital signal or will I need a full external aerial?
How can one tell if an aerial is A or B just by looking?

Brian Davies: An exact location (preferrably in the form of a post code) is needed in order to give any degree of accuracy. External aerials are generally preferred, but indoor aerials do function effectively in some locations. The design of the aerial may have some bearing.
The first stage of switchover at Hannington happened last Wednesday and BBC standard definition channels are now at full power. On your digital receiver, manually tune to channel 45. You may need to move your aerial to improve the signal.
