Hi there. I have had a problem for 2-3 weeks now, whereby BBC B transmissions completely disappeared. We live in Bollington, near Macclesfield, Cheshire. Aerial was aimed at Winter Hill and has historically received everything available across all channels. Overnight, all the BBC B channels were no longer being received. I checked the signal strength / quality of CH35 via the TV and got a completely nil result.
I have moved the aerial to receive from the Bollington repeater, and now get the BBC B channels via Channel 30+ but a limited number of channels/MUXs from there.
A couple of days ago I tried pointing the aerial back at Winter Hill and still received no BBC B channels and nil signal on CH35.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I wondered whether it was hardware, but given the same hardware is now picking up from the Bollington mast would suggest otherwise? The signal doesn't pass through any set top boxes or VCR/DVRs, only a labgear distribution amplifier.
