Thanks jb38, I should've said I'm receiving from Hannington not Rowridge (terrain issues). If the message comes up again I'll repost

Stuart Tier: Yes, no problem. The reason that I automatically mentioned Hannington is that this station is indicated as providing a slightly better level of signal over that of Rowridges powerful VP transmitter, but as aforementioned, I checked all stations seen on the predictor associated with the code provided and none gave any significance to the date you had seen.

Now that the dust has settled for both Crystal Palace and Hannington...
I am in the fringe area known as Wokingham. I inherited an (inaccessible) aerial pointing at Crystal Palace but like to get BBC South local news if I can. I have successfully tuned my box so BBC South, from Hannington, is on logical channel 800. Probably 90 percent of the time this works fine - remarkably few drop-outs given that my aerial is pointing in completely the wrong direction. The other ten percent of the time (is it when it's raining, I'm not sure) it is unwatchable or cuts out completely with "no or bad signal" message.
How can it be so variable? Is it just teething troubles at the Hannington end? Is there anything I can do to improve matters?

Adrian,
In our area there was no digital signal till switchover, so everyone else pays for their tv. I have asked around but noone is set up to receive digital.
Interestingly, while they are not yet working the ITV channels and a few others have been bookmarked (channel holder but no signal yet) so I am thinking that perhaps the repeater in this area is just slow>

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'slow' repeater. The next stage may be to try investing in a signal booster to see if that helps.

We have HD-capable Humax box & TV receiver and now that Meridian & Crystal Palaxce DSOs are done, want to switch our HD Freeview to Hannington, so we receive BBC South Freeview HD rather than Crystal Palace, as we've done up to now.
But Reading Aerial Services just told me that Freeview HD from Hannington is not yet available. I want to delay having them in until Hannington HD IS available. When will that be, please?
Thanks, Graham

I mean I'm thinking that the relay (sorry wrong word) is taking its time on adding channels.
We went and bought a signal booster yesterday- so far no positive difference at all. We are hoping that when we have the right cable it will at least give us strong enough signal to have freeview on two devices

HD transmissions are available from Hannington.
However, BBC One HD is "regionless", so there is no Meridian version being broadcast, and although this may happen in the future, no date has been set. ITV HD does carry four regions, and from Hannington this is Meridian Southampton. If you look at the top of this page for the channels listed under PSB3 you will see the details of what is currently available.
Hope this helps,
Adam.

Hey, thanks, Adam, most useful.
I THINK that means that I should be able to get what I'm seeking: The BBC1 South regional news from Southampton ("South Today")- but I don't necessarily need this in HD (sorry, I didn't explain that fully) - but I DO want the other HD channels, coming from Hannington, that hitherto I've received from Crystal Palace.
If this provision is already in place from Hannington, I can approach the Aerial co. to ask them to come to do a test, to check we have the sufficient Hannington signal (about 2 miles due south of Reading town centre).
Thanks - if you could kindly confirm I've got the situation right, I'd be most grateful.
Best and regards,
Graham

Yes, you are spot on. I notice from Google Streetview that quite a few homes in your area have two aerials, one at Hannington and one at Crystal Palace, so I think that Hannington should be possible from your area, but I would still get the aerial firm to check this for you.
