years ago there would be warnings on tv/radio/newspapers/teletext about engineering works on transmitters that may cause problems
for the past 2 days I have fiddled with connections/retuned many times etc
could you resume the above practice so we know??
As a last resort my son said look online to see if anyone knows of a problem-and hey it seems there may be problems during 2-3 days

Pendkle Forest transmitter is listed as having engineering work and is on reduced power. DO NOT RETUNE.

There has been engineering work at the transmitter. Retuning was the worst thing you could do as you are likely to have lost some channels that were already correctly tuned!

Is it possible for me to receive terrestrial TV signals (vertical polarisation) from the Pendle Forest main relay at my location which is postcode OL14 8QD (Flat No 62) if i were to erect either an external X Beam Group A aerial or Yagi Group A aerial on top of a communal flats roof where i currently reside ? My current scenario is that there is a limited choice of TV terrestrial signals coming from the Cornholme light relay (vertical polarisation) which i am currently receiving by a nearby external communal aerial mounted on a roof in a low rise block of flats where i i currently reside.Any valuable real experts advice is truly appreciated.Mark Fletcher in Portsmouth Village Todmorden Lancashire.

Mark Fletcher: Pendle Forest looks unlikely. Corholme is the only transmitter showing as serving your postcode, according to the Digital UK checker.
