Fran: Well I have to admit to being somewhat suspicious of that message myself, as after I had drawn your attention to it I couldn't find it listed in UK Free via twitter access listings, a facility I use for checking replies to postings when out and about, the RT investigation site good as it might be not always being bang up to date with events.
However that aside, as far as 4G is concerned I don't really feel this comes into the equation as far as your location is concerned, as in any areas where it might possibly have the potential to cause problems the transmitters that serve the area are operating on channels in the latter part of the 50's whereas the highest channel number used by Hannington is 47.
I really do feel that rather than making any attempts to improve your signal other than what you have already done, your best policy by far would be to make one or two local enquiries (at least one of outside of your housing complex) to determine if others are also experiencing similar difficulties, as this is the correct faulting procedure to use by anyone connected into a communal aerial system as it gives a far better idea of the situation that exists, this then enabling advice to be given appropriate to that situation.

Anyone know whats going on at Hannington - I am experiencing ongoing dreadful reception problems. Have checked aerial and nothing changed at my end. All channels seem affected, and BBC1 & 2 etc always used to be reliably strong now rubbish. This seems to vary acc. to the time of day. Early morning worst , evenings better. All HD channels always unuseable. I am 9 miles from transmitter, south east. (Hook). I have masthead amp. setup, and 2 x tv's both of which suffering. SIgnal strength at TV is 30 to 50% and fluctuating down wildly, and signal quality has very high error rate (using TV diagnostics). Result is no picture or complete pixellation in the mornings , partial intermittent pixellation in the eve's

Bruce: According to reports, there is normal output from the Hannington transmitter.
Perhaps you have Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | Digital switchover | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice ?

Briantist: Yes - I have seen the 'no problems reported' entries on websites but the fact is that nothing has changed at home, EXCEPT the fact that both my TV's now having problems with signal strength and quality. Can it be a coincidence that these problems started right around the time that maintenance occurred. Transmitter engineering

As an adjunct to my post above, and given that I am not imaginiong the problem, how does one report it in order that it can be investigated?

Bruce: I think your missing the point about Brian's advice, and there is no point in reporting the 'problem', because the problem is within your own system, not the transmitter.
We have seen a lagre number of reception problems similar to yours, which have arisen after engineering/retuning and upgrades at various transmitters, and this is almost certainly due to an increase in power from the transmitter, overloading the tuners in peoples equipment (there are at least three examples in the past two days).
That is not a problem that can be dealt with by the transmitter - they are transmitting at the power they should be.
Your 18km from Hannington, and so you should be getting a powerful signal, but its now just too much for your tuners. Your masthead amp is really no longer required, although switching it off without cutting off your signal totally requires someone cleverer than me! Follow the advice on the link Brianist supplied, and hopefully your reception should be fine.

I seem to have the same problem. Last 10 days or so the signal has deteriorated. I have checked the arial and the cables but no joy. As signal strength is around 50% but I'm getting bad interference is it worth trying an attenuator, surely this will reduce signal further?

If we have to keep retuning then the system is the fault we don`t move so whats the problem.?????

Stu: We need a postcode to help see what reception should be like. Ask your neighbours, to see what their reception is like. 50% is low, so check your aerial, etc again.
Alan Holmes: Bexhill seems to be fine, transmitter wise. BT supplies your box, but has no control over your TV reception! On the other hand, being basically next to the transmitter might be a problem..
