Dan Akers: You really need a rooftop aerial for reliable Freeview reception.

Hello. I get very good Freeview from Hannington transmitter. I am located in Yateley, Hampshire, GU46 6ES.
I have seen a number of news reports that suggest that the new 4G mobile service may have a detrimental effect on Freeview signals in many parts of the country but they are never specific. Do you happen to know if Hannington and my area, is likely to be affected ? Many thanks.

Dave: No because, just as with the media we don't have a crystal ball and can't see into the future.
There are a whole number of variables, not least where the operators site their base stations. How do you think we might find that one out?
The "areas" that will be affected are likely to be close to base stations.
Honestly, why do people bother putting their efforts into worrying about something they can do nothing about and which may never happen?

Hello, I have been getting good digital signal up until last week and now I am intermittent interference on most channels. I am located in Newbury and had a new aerial 2 years ago which is placed on the roof.
Does anyone know of current broadcast problems?

Richard: Newbury postal areas can be RG14 or RG20 with the reception possibilities varying quite considerably between the two districts as more than one station is involved, however nothing has been posted on the TX fault site with regards to any problems being in existence nor are any engineering works taking place.
You should check with a neighbour to find out if the fault is purely confined to your own installation as it might not be.
A more detailed answer can only be given when a post code or one from nearby has been supplied, as its impossible to access info regarding reception or the transmitters involved without this information.

Thanks for the reply, I am located in RG14 area. On thing I have noticed is that the BBC channels seem more effected and the ITV, Channel 4 etc seem to be fine!

Richard: If the signal path from the transmitter (Hannington) passes over trees (unable to check) then this can affect one mux more than another, however on the other hand as you reside at a distance of only 7 miles away from the transmitter and with a clear line of sight being indicated (land only) on a RG14 2PF test code, if you are using a booster then temporarily try bypassing it just in case the signal is a little over the top strength wise for the tuner fitted in your TV or box, as this possibility cannot be discounted

Freeview reception disappeared suddenly at about 2145 yesterday, on all three TV sets in the house. We are in OX11 0HW, using Hannington not Oxford (because of a huge tree in the way, though the rest of the village seems to get Oxford OK), with aerial on the roof and a masthead amplifier - the aerial and ancillaries was installed only a year or so ago. I have tried the reset procedure and been up in the loft to examine wiring and amplifiers, which look undamaged. Can you suggest any possibilities?
