That's why we called the engineer out - we wanted to get the aerial higher, just to make sure that we totally cleared the trees. But he said we wouldn't be able to get a signal.

Nope. We already have Sky and Freesat and the trees are blocking the signal to that as well. The satellite dish is pointing to the opposite direction to the aerial - so every way we loose. We can get some channels on satellite after dark and then loose them by 7.30am. The engineer did suggest just raising the dish, but if it's windy we already loose the signal so raising it higher will (I suspect) make matters worse.

Briantist: I suppose there's always BBC iplayer. Trees don't belong to us and landowner not interested in doing anything about it - so chainsaw not option. May have to resort to a 40ft pole. Thanks for your help.

Does anyone have any ideas why I can see the Rosemarkie transmitter, but can't get any signal? Called engineer out and he tested with his aerial but really, really low signal. IV7 8ES. Aerial on a pole outside. There are trees between us and the transmitter, but the top of the pole is higher than the trees.
