Kevin Porteous : It not likley that the "com7" and "com8" multiplexes will be added here. They are being broadcast only from the top 30 transmitters. Freeview HD extended service from 2014 (com7) has a map. At some point in the future (when everyone has Freeview HD equipment) the existing multiplexes will switch to DVB-T2. The interim services are likely to be taken away and used for 4G broadband within five years.

Kevin Porteous : Never. It is as it is until at least 2018.
The objective of them is to encourage take-up of Freeview HD (DVB-T2) receiving equipment. In 2018 multiplexes may be rejigged so as to increase coverage of the services currently carried on the quasi-national HD multiplexes, COM7 and COM8 which aren't carried by Stockland Hill.

Read Kevin Porteous question about the extra HD channels. And answer "They are being broadcast only from the top 30 transmitters" seems odd then that they would pick Beacon Hill, which has less homes/viewers than Stockland Hill ?

Mrs Sanders:
It is probably related to the post above yours that indicates there is engineering work at Stockland Hill transmitter and that there will be weak signals. That often gives rise to picture breaking up.

Hello. I currently live in a flat ( one of 7) with its own TV & Radio sockets in each flat. We are in direct line-of-sight to the Stockland aerial and normally have no digital signal interference. My TV is plugged into a TalkTalk YouView box and broadband router and we have Freeview. Until fairly recently we have had a good, strong signal on all channels viewed but I have been experiencing very poor to unobtainable reception on the Sky News (Freeview 132) & just occasionally on BBC News ( freeview 130). I know bad weather can cause intermittent problems but the Sky News problem is now very frequent. Al Jazeera on 133 is fine so 'I'd like to know if Sky are broadcasting on a different signal strength or if there is some other technical reason for the lack of signal? I hope to hear from you. Regards Brian Johns

As you appear to be on a communal aerial system, have you asked whether other people in the block are experiencing the same problems?
If they are, then it is likely that an aerial problem is the cause. If they are not then it is likely that your equipment may have a problem. In that case it is worth changing the aerial cables connecting your equipment to the aerial socket and between each item.
It is also possible that you may have too much signal. Does your TV have a settings page that allows you to check the signal strength and quality? If so, make sure the signal strength on the affected services is between 60% and 80% as any higher will probably cause the symptoms you describe. If you do have too much signal, an inexpensive attenuator will help. What strength of attenuator may be needed epends on just how strong the signal(s) is.
