Algernon Black: if it is only 3 years old get the aerial rigger back who fitted it and ask him to check it out

PS
If you had read Ofcom report, the moving of DTT will result in only 9% of people needing an aerial upgrade and those will probably only be DIY installs

When my man came this morning to install the dish he checked my FREEVIEW aerials with his meter. You knowledgeable chaps will know what this means. The meter lit up all the red LEDS and measured 72db
he informed me that was good. So its goodbye from me as I now have hundreds of channels from FREESAT and I now can disregard OXFORD totally.
Thank you to all who helped me in the past.

My problem all along has been the failure of Freeview due to weather. This year has been awful.
The transmissions do not provide reception of all programmes, to all viewers, all of the time, so I have moved to FREESAT. It is brilliant. Plus there are a host of additional channels available free.

AlgernonBlack: Freesat is an excellent system, and of course has no problems with local weather.
However. it seems that many of your problems might have been caused by too much signal strength, rather than too little. Digital via terrestial has been successful for most people, most of the time, and once problems have been overcome, offer excellent service with little need for extra expense.

Hi,
I live in Swindon, Wilts and our freeview reception was perfect until a short time ago.
Then we lost many channels ITV, CH4, CH5 , E4, Film4 and many others, yet we still have BBC1, BBC2 and a number of others. I received a filter of some sort identified by CH60 on it and a leaflet saying that due to the turning on of 4G system this
'might' interfere with freeview reception. If I connect this filter between the aerial and the mast amp or boost this will allow me to receive all signals again and normal reception as before. Well I've connected it and it doesn't work. When are the authorities going to stop their greed for money. They should not have turned on 4G until they had made sure it did not affect any other system freeview or anyother one.
Unfortunately, because of the revenue generated from the mobile phone companies the authorities knowing that the 4G frequency system would affect freeview still went ahead with it because of the money it will give them ( the mobile phone companies and the authorities). Well it is totally un-acceptable and we the people are paying for our TV licences. So, when are the authorities going to resolve this freeview reception problem ?
Jeff.

Jeff Boyle: In answer to your question, they won't because the spectrum has been sold.
The company Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited, which trades as "at800", was formed by the mobile operators and is charged with alleviating interference by providing one filter per household in most cases.
If the filter supplied does not solve the problem then at800 must provide another solution, but this requires the viewer to contact them rather than a web forum which is not connected with them.

Jeff Boyle: The answer to the question is not as I said, although it is true that the decision has been made and that the spectrum has been sold.
The authorities can only resolve your reception problem when you tell them. If you haven't spoken to at800 then they aren't to know.
