re: Dave Lindsay: if Tony or anyone else in Findon currently using the Findon Relay, is able to get good strong reception of the PSB muxes from Findon Relay with a standard 10-element aerial, up against marginal / borderline reception (works most of the time with the fairly occasional drop outs) of all 6 muxes from Rowridge VP with an extra high gain aerial, how about this? Put up an extra high gain aerial VP towards Rowridge for the COM muxes, and keep the existing standard aerial on Findon for superior reception of its PSB muxes? Surely you could combine the two together with a signal standard Y-shape signal splitter-combiner. Or the little masthead box I've seen some people with two aerials have - exactly what are they and how do they work?

I live in Worthing town centre, have just bought a new Samsung TV with on board Freeview HD receiver, but cannot receive any freeview HD channels.
Is this likely to be a problem with my aerial?

Patrick: Not likely.
Try manually tuning to UHF channel 47. If there is an option on the manual tuning screen for DVB-T or DVB-T2, then select the latter.

Since this afternoon of 15 Feb I have had no Freeview at all.
I live in East preston, West Sussex Post code BN16 ***
My signal comes from either Findon or Brighton - not sure but signal defo comes from the East and not the Isle of Wight - lots of people get the signal from either direction in this location.
Is it just me or is Freeview "down" in this are at the moment.????

Just been to in-laws to find they have the four main channels plus HD channels. No Channel 5, ITV2, More4, E4, ITV1+1, 4+1, BBC3, BBC4.
They point at Findon which even though a relay transmitter the digitaluk.co.uk suggests these channels should be received.
Any suggestions what the issue is here?

Solution was factory reset. Picked the channels up immediately. Not sure why a retune didn't.

Hi, I have just purchased a new sony tv with freeview built in allowing me to dump sky and return to plugging the good old fashioned coax cable back into my wall socket.
It seems to be working well with stunning picture quality but the hd channels do seem to drop out with any slightly un-settled weather conditions and I get a message saying no signal from antenna! I move to regular channels and they can still be problematic but sod it I want HD!
Now my roof top ariel, cabel and socket are all very old so I've purchased a new digi ariel and I will be fixing it to my chimney and running a new cable to a new wall socket at the weekend but my question is concerning where my ariel should point.
I am aware that the ariel should point towards the transmitter on the West side of Findon valley. However I've read that if your not sure you should be looking up at all of the other ariels in your street to see where they are pointing. Here is my problem/debate I think. All the ariels on the rooftops near me point west parallel to the seafront towards Goring and not North West towards Findon Valley.
So are we all wrong? Would pointing my old ariel towards Findon solve the drop out issue? Or is my ariel facing west enough to pick up good signal and that it's the age and condition of my old components that is the problem?
I'm going to fit a my new one in any case because I want nice new modern equipment and it is easily do-able within my skill range. Plus it will be easier than getting further up on to my roof to undo the rusted bolts that will allow me to swivel my current ariel. I will still have the issue of where to point my ariel. Follow the crowd and go west or point it towards Findon?
Any help or experience will be greatly received. Thanks...
