Below are all of Colin's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Hi, and thanks to all for the replies.
We live in a dip in the landscape and there is a 40 foot hill directly at the back of the property so there is no direct view of the mast.
I tried a high gain aerial because the existing one didn't get C28 either,so a bit of trial and a lot of error...
I don't understand why the main channels are fine, but C28 doesn't get anything on vertical when the signal strength should be the same, if I am reading the info correctly.

Dave:
many thanks for the help. We have only moved here recently and the loft aerial previously there looks like an ancient uhf...surprisingly this worked ok but didn't get C28, hence the attempt with the new one.
I will have another go at the weekend with your suggestions.

Dave and Jamie: thanks for the replies. I have tried a small length of wire in the tv, this gave good pics but with slightly reduced strength and quality. Having had time to investigate, I only receive channels 24 and 27, the psbs, in both hp and vp. Would this be due to my location to the south of Rowridge, out of transmitting direction for the coms?, aside from my position behind a hill and trees? My next attempt will be to run a wire to the top of the hill for a direct view of Rowridge. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again for the informative replies.

Hi,
My postcode is PO38 2LE.
I can't get C28 (film4 etc).
I have tried both horizontal and vertical aerial position (high gain slx 48 is in the loft.) The main channels are all good strength signal and quality in both positions.
Any ideas please?
