There has been engineering work at the transmitter. You should NOT retune while that is being done as you will loose the channels that were correctly tuned already.

Alan Risby: There are recent engineering notices warning of weak signal in recent days, so it looks like there may have been engineering work taking place. Retuning is the worst thing to do and will never fix a weak signal as the TV is already correctly tuned, you are just deleting all of your channels and searching for them again.

I am Secretary to the Residents Association at a retirement village on the borders of East and West Sussex, RH15 0GP. Our village is tuned to the Midhurst transmitter but many residents feel it should be on Heathfield - partly due to some bad transmission in the latter part of last year, and also for local news. It will cost to have the aerial resited and we are unsure whether we will have more problems. Last Saturday (5th Jan ) I had many interruptions to service whilst listening to Classic FM via the TV - and Saturdays have been a problem in the past.
Are you able to provide any advice as to whether or not it will be wise to change.
Many thanks - in hope!

Mrs Susan James: It looks like Heathfield may give better reception for some channels, but still variable for others. Midhurst is predicted to be variable for most channels and poor for some. It would probably be a good idea to consult a reputable aerial installer who is familiar with the local area.

The frequencies/channels listed on this page for the PSB3 and ArqA mux's appear to be incorrect. I am receiving them on 770 and 778 MHz respectively.

@Lee Matcheswala the frequencies listed here have been wrong for 12 months now. It appears that the page author does not read comments and I have yet to find a channel to contact them.

The channels currently listed as at 21st Mar 2018 are actually the final channels for 2020 with the exception of D3&4 still listed on its current channel of UHF54 when it will be moving to UHF35 in Q4 2019.
Also BBCB is currently on UHF58, and ARQA(COM5) is currently on UHF59.
Full details can be seen on Digital UK's page at Coverage Checker - Detailed View For predicted reception at your own location, click > Change address near the top of the page and put in your postcode.
Any Engineering works will be shown at Digital UK | Planned engineering works under Meridian.

Hi, I have been having problems with my Satellite signal from the Midhurst transmitter as I have to turn off the Freeview input to get a good satellite signal my TV engineer tells me it is because you have been using the top range for 4G?
Please advise me what I should do?

Vivienne Legge: This website has no connection with the transmitter company or any broadcaster. The Midhurst transmitter does not broadcast a satellite signal, it is a terrestrial digital TV signal (satellite TV is broadcast from satellites orbiting many thousands of miles above the equator). Are you trying to receive a satellite signal from a dish or Freeview from an aerial, as your post seems to be confusing both? 4G mobile internet services are nowhere near the frequencies used by satellite broadcasts, however the mobile networks do use the 800MHz band (which used to be the top end of the UHF band used for terrestrial TV) for 4G services. Any interference caused by 4G can easily be solved by connecting a filter (you can get one for free from the at800 | 4G & Freeview | 4G interference | 4G Filters | 800 MHz website), which the engineer should have recommended if they believed that to be the cause of your problems.
