KMJ,Derby: Thank you very much for your explanation. It is true that sometimes the predicted reception says I can get signals from Rumster Forest and Durris. It is only recently BBC indicates that Knock More and Durris are the two transmitters for my location. Interestingly, just about the same time I lost BBC signals, a small woods half a mile away was felled. I suppose those trees were blocking the unwanted signals for many years until now? Would that be a reason? Technicians did mention about 4G spectrum in feature saying that Freeview users might need to install a filter before being able to watch tv. It looks like Freesat or Sky would be the options for me. Pity some of the channels are not available on Freesat, such as Yesterday. Anyway, thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated.

I lost all BBC channels since around 19 June, but all other non-BBC channels are perfect. The transmitters are all working normally--Knockmore and Durris. Local tv aerial technicians believe that the amplifiers installed for roof aerial in the past (when analogue signal was still on) make signal too strong, because BBC has increase power (full power) on digital signals, and that signals sent from the two transmitters are interfering with each other at my location. As a result, all BBC channels are gone. Freesat is recommended. While I am considering Freesat, I just don't understand why too strong signals can cause no reception. Is it a possible case for two transmitters causing interference? Anyone can help me for that?
