terry: The COM muxes from The Wrekin are currently using temporary frequencies at low power.On 28th September 2011 the frequencies will be changed and power increased. The Digital UK postcode checker currently does not make any prediction for reception of the COM muxes from The Wrekin, after 28th September reception is shown as poor. It does however predict that you should already have a full Freeview service from Ridge Hill with good reception on all muxes, and after 21st September 2011 all six muxes should be available from Sutton Coldfield, all with excellent reception. These predictions are, of course, subject to no local obstructions such as trees or tall buildings blocking the signal path.

Terry,you should be able to receive all channels fom Wed 28th Sept,if you then do a first time installation.Channels such as ITV 3 5* wil be transmitted at a much higher power also.

Central frequency range aerial on roof and can get all programs on mux's PSB1, PSB2, COM4, but not mux's COM5 & COM6. The TV's indicated signal strength and quality for rf channel 41 is 63% and 66% respectively. All programs on this frequency tune in okay, where as the sig level and strength for rf channel 44 is only 61% & 58% but no programs are found. Is this likely to be due to the lower power output level for mux COM5 although it's indicated as being the same output level as COM4 which gives me no problem. Is the power output going to be increased from the indicated 10Kw in the near future?
Kind regards from A1batman.

A1batman: The COM channels do not have as wide a coverage as the PSBs. They are only carried on the largest transmitters and in some cases are at lower power, as is the case with The Wrekin.
Have you had your Group A aerial replaced with a wideband (or Group K) one?
How does the strength of PSB1 and PSB2 compare to COM4?
The sensitivity of a Group A aerial will drop off outside of the Group.
For aerial groups, see:
Aerials, TV Aerial and Digital Aerial
Some example gain (sensitivity) curves:
Gain (curves), Again
If you do have a Group A aerial (red tip) and am looking for information, either to be briefed when you get a professional in, or to do it yourself or get a friend who likes heights to do it, then see:

hi,my new sky dish double black cable comes into my daughters room and her sky box works from either cable of the double cable,i tested both and made sure.
so to get freesat box working in the next room on another tv i've attached a tv cable to the spare line of the double cable and run through to the spare room,but for some reason when i connect the cable to the freesat box and then to the tv all i get on the tv screen are the channel number and titles,but no picture,the box is fine i know it works.
what can be causing their to be no picture? ive done exactly the same thing downstairs using the double cable,one to the sky box in the front room ,and then added tv cable to the the spare one of the double and to my kitchen freesat box,thats working perfectly?
doing my nut in cant understand it,any suggestions,john
