Is there a problem with the Oxford transmitter again? The last couple of days I have been unable to use CH68 and the others are only 50% strength.

Wonder if you can help. I am on the Bucks & Oxon transmiter and have been experiencing constant problems with CH68 for well over a year now. In the evenings there is no reception (breaking up) and when I look at the diagnostics on my tv it says there is no signal. The other channels are fine apart from the signal strength being 100% but the quality only being 45-50%.

If I view ITV on my BT Vision live TV it is normally better, but this afternoon this was bad as well.

Quite often I can only watch ITV on analogue which is switching off in September.

What is causing this?

Thanks

I have just re tuned my tv and am now on the Cambs & Beds transmitter. However when I checked which transmitter I was on using this site it came up as Calbeck for 2 of my frequencies (CH29 and CH24).

ITV now seems to be okay but BBC has gone (no signal on Cambs & Beds)

KMJ - thank you for your reply and your help. It did say Caldbeck but when I checked again to add my favourites CH24 now says Cambs & Beds and there is also Bucks & Oxon as you said (for BBC channels).

I do have the 800s as you say which is CH68 etc and these do not work well at all, however, now I have the ITV channels on CH24 they are receiving a good signal.

Rather than retune and risk losing my ITV again, I'm going to keep as is until digital switchover and see what happens. I don't have EPG with CH24 but I'll live with that as I can view this through BT Vision.

Thanks for your help
