Martin: As geoff says, check that it is tuned to Whitehawk and not .

If it is, then the simple workaround is to unplug the for the first 40% of the . This will miss out low (frequencies) used by Rowridge, but will scan higher ones used by Whitehawk.

Martin: If you do find that it is tuned to Whitehawk, then I suggest that you get a 20dB variable attenuator.

For example (other outlets and sellers are available):

Peter berry: Which is your directed to?

If it is the then you will not receive ITV3 or any other Commercial from it because it doesn't broadcast them.

If it is , then perhaps you are marginal. Do you get the other Commercial channels?

See this page and identify which of the COM multiplexes (if any) you get:

ITV3 is carried on COM4. So do you get COM5 (Pick TV) and COM6 (Yesterday)?

I have no from white hawk, but a rescan picks up some 800, presumably from from Roridge, these are very weak and break up all th etiquette. Anyone else in BN1 area having the same problem?

Before the changeover I used to receive BBC South for my local news. Now I get which is all about Kent. Its more than 40 miles to the Kent border from Hove. We have much more in common with Worthing, Chichester, Bognor etc that are all within 40 miles of Hove.

Why dont we get South Today and BBC South anymore ?

HoveActually: See for an explanation:

Brighton transmitters will be in BBC South East from 7th March 2012 | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

The change of Whitehawk's BBC coincided with a change in the coverage area of the relevant news programmes (in theory).

I have Windows 7 Media Centre, which periodically re-tunes and picks up multiple BBC , particularly BBC2, 3 and 4.
I live in Central Brighton and the is directed toward .
I assume it's picking up other transmitters, so was wondering there's anyway to stop this permanently, as Media Centre will keep re-scanning in background. I saw mention of an attenuator, whcih I assume reduces strength?

Cheers.

Simon: Can you stop the periodic retunes?

If so, you could try the trick mentioned before here, namely unplugging the for the first half of the (i.e. the first half of the frequencies scanned). At about 50% plug the aerial in again and cross your fingers.

this helps,
Jim

Thanks Jim,

I'll have a bash at that.

Now that I think I've identified the preferred Whitehawk I might be able to disable the others.

Cheers.
