Please tell Arqiva as they operate the transmitters. They are nothing to do with this website which is entirely independent and intended to assist viewers having reception problems.

We have had very poor and sometimes no TV signal at all over the last few weeks and its becoming worse and unwatchable. We have tried all suggested things such as re-tuning, unplugging everything, re-tuning then plugging back in and repeating and nothing is making a difference. Occasionally we will be re-tuned into the welsh network but that doesn't work either. Please can you look into this and provide us with an explanation and date of fixture?
We are located in Berrynarbor EX34 9SA
Kind Regards
