Ron lake: I couldn't tell you about the sound (how are you outputting it?), but since your just 18km from the transmitter, I'd suggest looking at the 'too much of a good thing' page, because thats exactly the symptoms of too much signal strength.

Thanks Mike, It seems, on checking signal and quality, I do need attenuators. Signal and quality are currently both 100%. Sound is just from the TV speakers or headphones at night, to avoid annoyance to my neighbour. Thanks for your help.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I live in Worksop and over the past few days I have lost the following channels:
18, 19, 25, 31, 39, 42, 45, 47, 62, 64, 67, 68, 69, 71, 73, 81, 84 and radio channels 725, 731 and 732.

RICHARD STEHR: You are predicted to get a good signal from both Emley Moor and Belmont transmitters. What signal strength and quality readings are you getting on the channels that are still working?

I have found out the signal strengths overall are good (72%) on the channels that are working, but I have noticed that the BBC 1 is 61%, BBC 2 is 64% and BBC RB (601) is only 51%. The channels that have gone missing is a mystery as our next door neighbour has all those channels and the two aerials both point to the Emley Moor transmitter. Help.

RICHARD STEHR: Those signal strengths are a bit low. Given that your neighbour is using the same transmitter without any problem, that would suggest that there is a fault with your aerial system, perhaps damage caused by the bad weather over the last few weeks.

I find this information utterly confusing. I need to manually retune my DVR because it prefers the Carlisle tower, rather than several nearer. Now that Really and ITV3 have moved. I have no idea where to. The old numeric list of MUXs doesn't seem to apply; so how do I find COM5 etc?
