mike: we had good reception from hazler here in church stretton until early yesterday evening (31st oct). Then no reception later in the evening and no reception today (1st nov). Can't understand why they say there are no problems with the transmitter.

mike & D. Askew: This is very likely caused by the high atmospheric pressure affecting various parts of the country, causing lift conditions which allow signals from distant transmitters which cannot normally be received to interfere with the signals from the transmitter you normally use. Do not attempt to retune as this will delete all of your channels which are already correctly tuned. As this is an entirely natural phenomenon, all you can do is wait for the atmospheric conditions to return to normal.

For the past three days since Sunday 3rd December our digital TV has only displayed either a broken picture alternating with the message no signal or poor signal. However, when routing the feed through an old separate digital box the signal reaching the TV works perfectly well. Presumably the digital box is more able to deal with poor signals. But as there are no reported faults on the Hazler transmitter, why are we suddenly receiving a poor signal?!

D. Askew: Check each part. If the digibox works fine, is it the lead? If it doesn't, is it the box? And what is the box tuned to? If its the wrong transmitter, then its going to be a poor signal.

MikeB: To reiterate my former comments: the picture is perfect when viewing the signal through the digibox. If the digibox is switched off so that the aerial signal is being decoded in the TV then the picture is either completely broken up or "no signal " or "poor signal" is displayed. Both the digibox and the TV are receiving their signal from the same aerial feed.

Please check the signal strengths being shown when you are viewing directly on the TV. I assume that you are merely switching the Digibox to standby and not turning of the mains supply to it?
You need to have signal strengths of between 50% and 85% for SD services and between 60% and 85% for HD services, anything more or less will cause loss of picture/sound and break up.

I have no means to check the signal strength but I don't doubt your comments about the signal strength being low, particularly as that is what the TV screen displays. What puzzles me is why, if nothing has changed at the transmitter, this poor signal has been present for the past four days when it had worked perfectly for years before then. Since we still seem to be getting a signal which is adequate to work through the separate digibox we can at least still view tv programmes, but I'm curious to know exactly what has happened.

D. Askew: Your aerial is connected to your TV by a cable just 6mm wide, with lots of connections, with is battered by the weather.
So if its not the transmitter.....

Your TV set will have a means of displaying the signal strength for each channel received. Check in your User Manual for how to access the manual tuning menu to see the strenfgths - but *do not* perform any tuning.
