I've sent an email to at800 based on the link Mark provided above. Hopefully if several people do this from the Southampton/West End/Hedge End area, they will investigate.

Problems are due to atmospheric pressure...
Hi all. We live in North Dorset and for some reason get our signal from Rowridge transmitter on the I of W. I have managed to get through to the broadcast dept (who only talk to the broadcast companies, not to the general public) of Arqiva who own and manage the Rowridge transmitter. He says ( as did digitalUK) that the mast is working ok, but the signal is badly affected by high pressure. Not a meteorologist so cannot explain why this particular high pressure is causing problems...
This explains our local TV shop's signal screen, which shows sort of adequate signal for BBC but 0 /zero quality. The owner says BBC now the main problem, other channels not so bad.
Is there freak weather on the I of W?!

Had reply from at800 to say no G4 testing at 800Mhz in this area so this is not cause of transmission problems. BBC reported at lunchtime that atmospheric pressure causing reception problems at moment - but,if this is correct, we have never experienced problems to this extent before.

We have been experiencing loss of signal for 3 evenings in the last 10 days, sometimes for hours. (All the evening yesterday!) TV service shop in Hedge End checked out Hannington transmitter - no reported work going on or faults. Their aerials man said it migh be due to high pressure(e.g.weather!), but the helpful shop owner could not throw any further light on our problems. Called up the AT 800 helpdesk and they reported no transmission problems with Hannington or Isle of Wight. What can we do? Everyone is saying there are no faults reported and no engineering works, yet lots of people around the area, are experiencing problems. What now?

Hannington transmitter is giving a poor signal to GU30 area. Getting fed up retuning TVs to find it makes no difference. Is this progress or what??. Sorry - end of rant.

Judith Ralph: Isle of Wight here (PO33 Ryde): I've just retuned because I lost everything from Hanninton and now I've got Midlands local news. Sort of ties in with the weather excuses.

I have had problems for months, had a new aerial fitted and no improvement. Generally seems to be OK during the day but lose it completely in the evenings. Even BBC lost signal yesterday. I am tucked in below the Marlborough Downs in SN8

Chris:
Was your new aerial fitted by a professional??
I would question any fitter who puts an aerial on a house if they cannot get the required signal strength and quality for it to work correctly.

Been having issues here (SP5 1) for about the last ten days.
Currently have good signal on PSB1 ans PSB2 but nothing at all on com 4 and com 5. Last night even PSB 1 dropped out at about 9.45PM.
There must be a fault somewhere, as all these people can't have duff equipment!!
