susie: What's the make and model of the TV? Some won't work after switchover.
Do you have any other TV or box in your house that does work?

Intermittent poor to no reception on non-BBC channels since 22/10/13. BBC channels work fine. Have reset and retuned. Used to work fine before recent engineering work on 22/10/13..

Malcolm Godden : You are not alone!
See here for another complaint from a viewer on Hungerford Hill and my subsequent response:
Oxford (Oxfordshire, England) Full Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
If you have an amplifier (booster) then the filter should go before it.
Failing that I suggest you give at800 a ring.

Malcolm Godden : I guess the unwanted 4G signal is strong at your location as you are only 300m from the base station (assuming that it is the one which is co-sited with the Sheepdrove TV transmitter.
If you have a set-top aerial then it might be worth a try, at least as a temporary measure. The objective being to pick up less of the 4G signal.
Or a piece of wire a foot or two long inserted into the inner part of the aerial socket.
These are suggestions that may be temporary workarounds until at800 comes up with a solution.
Incidently, have you fitted your filter immediately behind your TV set? Or if there is a recorder, have you fitted it before that?

I am getting fed up with the TV signal from the sheepdrove transmitter when using a conventional aerial it was perfectly all right until the 20th October but since then you cannot watch the TV because of the poor reception. I have been on here before and have heard nothing back. I suppose i will have to contact the local press and tell them about it because nothing is being done about it and why should we have to put up with it. I pay a TV license to get a picture and we can't use it ???
