john: I dont know about anything else, but a signal strength of 96% is way too high - search for 'too much of a good thing' on this site.

Hi Mike... Well, on a Sig Strength meter ( the cheap one with 4 green LEDS) , I get 2 Green light on the roof with a 1mtr fly lead direct into the aerial which is about midway (60uV) I remember from the old Analogue days I used to look for 1mV :). If I plug just the inner core into the TV socket, I get ITV MUX Ok but BBC 1MUX is obviously blocky. I also have a variable attenuator and have tried that on the main TV input and it makes not difference to the BBC1 MUX... I thought at first it was the High Pressure weather ( I am a radio Amateur ) and I know that with some weather patterns you get what we called lifts so you can contact countries on 2mts frequency when normally you can't...As the neighbours are also getting the same problem and the weather has change a lot since early March I am not sure what to try next. I am not sure if a dedicated Group B would solve it but as it has always been fine I dont see why the aerial I have now should not be OK.. It is trying to find out what has change wit transmission......

I have checked again with neighbours and we are all being affected with this interference on certain channels ( as in my last posts ) It is not Atmospherics as the weather has changed dramatically . If anyone else is in the Ash Vale area ( GU12 5HS ), it would be helpful to learn if they are also having poor receptions on certain channels.. Thanks for a hopeful reply John

Same problem here in Reading. Hannington signal quality level drops to zero then recovers. Varies over all channels.
Hannington Transmitter post no problems - only Relay upgrades - what is happening does any one know ????
There seems no way to find out what actual technical work is being undertaken.

I did email DigitalUK on the 18th March to ask if they knew what has changed with Hannington but there was nothing definitive....It has been perfect since the changeover a few years ago and even with a new aerial fitted 2 weeks ago ( Same as old aerial of 3 years ) and a new down lead it still has problems with BBC1 multiplex channels and Sky News Multiplex channels and others. The ITV Multiplex is fine. These are the only channel I watch on Freeview for a Kitchen TV...
Have checked with 4G filter fitted but no change...
I have tried it on 3 TV I have in the house....
Lets hope someone has a solution.....

I am having interference issues at Basingstoke
Some blocking and audio pops
I am close to Hannington, so wet string should be fine.
This has started in the last few weeks, what has changed?

Jim Taylor: Its probably because you don't need any more than wet string that's the likely cause. Search for 'too much of a good thing' on this site, which should help you.

I am about 23 miles away and have never had a problems until early March this year. Something has changed and my neighbours are also affected......There must be someone on here from the Transmission engineering team who could make some informed information as to what did change. I know that DAB Radio was increase in power in March. Maybe that has something to do with it...
