I live in post code CB24 5JD which has always had poor TV and mobile
Despite assurances that the 13th april changeover will cure pixelations and low signal today still happening and my recorder has moved from 82% siganl strength pre to an amazing 85% today.
So what happened to the promised boost in signal ????
Only alternative is and I do not wish to improve the profits of Mr Murdoch !!!!

Brian-you have missed the point I did not mention at all
I have a recorder and TV and as stated their is no noticeable improvement since 13th April .
So my question remains in that a guy sat on Anglia TV weeks ago smugly stating that ALL customers would be able to receive a perfect NO pixilation or problems would exist.
As Peter T says not all of us wish to subscribe to when we were promised an acceptable TV service on Freeview so what happened ???

Is that your answer to merely to repeat text from mine and Peter T posts rather than offer advice on why an alleged improvement to service has done the opposite
Very disappointed

Thanks for advice, i do have an amp fitted so will remove and try that

Had to have it on as stated CB24 is bad for TV and mobile

I though Brian was just being sarky but can see his point, read when frustrated after more trouble with tv calm now-well until I try your remedy !!!!!!!!!!!

Taking your advice I have been in this morning and found:
Using SLX DB-T Signal Meter with amp in situ I get 80dbuv and 101 with several on about 6 channels
Without amp straight on co-ax 50dbuv and get 90 channels (no film 4 etc as mentioned)
So by tweaking amp and setting at 60dbuv I can get 104 channels and get Film 4 and other lost channels.
But the disturbing fact is that on checking my digifusion recorder the signal coming off Channel 27 for cambs & beds has 12-15% errors on it-a brand new channel

So I can rest easy now and Thanks for you it was beginning to get hot in the loft in this spring sunshine so back to cutting the grass !!!

Have now moved my outside and can confirm no loss of any further and as predicted a slightly better .
Still a small percentage error but nothing to worry about as have recorded a Channel 5 programme which has always been a weak channel in the past and it was fine

So looking good until next !!!!!ha ha
