Noticed yesterday, but have been away for a couple of weeks so may have happened earlier, all BBC channels on Freeview have no signal from Hannington transmitter. Other channels are still full signal strength. What has happened?

John brindley: Since Hannington seems fine, you'd better check your system.

Seems to be problems tonight (30th) with channels on COM4 (ch 41) - signal strength is good, but signal quality is very poor. Anyone else having problems??

Adrian: Yes, same here. According to the Tropospheric Ducting Forecast link I have, there is significant atmospheric interference this evening, which will be the cause. It should gradually improve over the next couple of days.

Thanks Adrian and Darren, I was about to go in to the loft to inspect my connections and then spend money on an engineer to come and fix my apparent problem. Sounds like you've saved me a few quid! Darren, do you have a link to the tropospheric ducting forecast you mentioned? TA

Is there something wrong with the PSB1 BBCA and PSB3 BBCB muxes on Hannington? Only we've been getting a desperately bad, noisy (as in lots of bit dropouts) signal here in Kempshott, Basingstoke (it's 10.4Km line of site to Hannington) since midday Saturday. Most of the other Freeview channels are working OK.There's been quite a few occasions where the BBC HD signals aren't just noisy, but are non-existent.I know we've been having some serious weather with Storm Angus heading through at the weekend and this follow-up low pressure/wet/windy un-named storm pushing in behind.

Dougie Lawson: Your just 10.4km from the transmitter - so look at 'too much of a good thing' on this site, because that drop out sounds a lot like signal overload.

MikeB: I pulled the cable between the TV and the wall, cleaned off some of the corrosion (it's been a while), turned it round (TV end in wall, wall end in TV for good measure). Things are much better. I suspect the foul weather had highlighted my signal attenuation problem.The next step would have been a re-tune, but things are back to normal after a simple fix.
