I and my neighbours cannot receive block of channels 33 40 and 43. We are using belmont transmitter. Channels 25 35 53 and 60 are 100%. I am in Bridlington East Yorkshire

Mr Paul Fearn : Your signal strength is predicted to be weak from Belmont for most multiplexes, with no better alternative transmitter. You would probably be better off looking at Freesat.

I think it's quite unreasonable to pay an extortionate price for a TV licence when I have to rely on a very poor signal from a transmitter 60 miles away. If I have freesat then all my recording equipment will be useless. We should have a reasonable signal provided.

Mr Paul Fearn : So you're expecting a whole new transmitter to be built for 150 per year? The BBC and ITV setup Freesat specifically for situations like this where a good terrestrial signal isn't available.

Mr Paul Fearn : You live where you live, and the BBC does it's best to get you a full range of its services. But that's life. OK, don't get Freesat, but there won't be any more transmitters in your area, so Freesat is the best alternative. Its your choice.

My only problem with freesat which I tried to have installed, is a great big tree in the neighbours garden which the aerial fitter says is in the direct line with the satalite. Seems I can't win.

Long periods of several minutes of signals from most terrestrial/Freeview channels. BBC, ITV, Channels 4 & 5, Estuary. Some not affected Channel 11, 12, 17, 19, 25. But your information says no problems or engineering. Question, given the signals are digital could they have been affected by atmospherics?

Arthur Tonkinson: The signals being digital make no difference, it is down to the frequencies used and the weather conditions. Lift conditions allows signals from distant transmitters to be received when they would not usually cause interference is certainly possible at the moment.

Bridlington area has had terrible signal for years and for the last 2 weeks it's worse than ever same old story atmospheric pressure... It is 2018 and our area is the forgotten....We are on the very border of the Belmont signal.
SO PLEASE CAN SOMETHING BE DONE, not wanting much just want to be able to watch telly.
Thank you.

Angela Thompson : Please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage. The affects of atmospheric pressure are exactly the same as they were 50 years ago and will remain the same 50 years from now. If your signal is always bad you probably have a fault somewhere in your aerial system.
