Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) Full Freeview transmitSaturday 13 August 2011 11:15PM

since the sudbury transmitter has switched I have had nothing but trouble so I have brought another 41 element aerial I have managed to tune it into analogue its it but fuzzy but I have not yet mounted it onto my mast I was looking for some advice at present i have a 91 element aerial pointing towards the Sudbury transmitter I was wondering if it would be better to change the position of my 91 element aerial and point towards crystal palace transmitter and then use the new 41 element and point it towards the Sudbury transmitter? if you need my post code then its ss5 4lg

Im still having problems with my freeview since the DSO I cant work out why i cant receive mux A as its transmitted at a stronger power when i can receive COM ArqA with very good signal around 90% and about 80% quality and its transmitted at a lower power I cant receive COM ArqB any more however every day at around midnight for about 1 hour i can receive mux A channels which i cant workout my aerial is a 91 element which worked great before the DSO however its not mounted right on the roof its no the side of an extension about 8 metres high could this be why I am having problems however I am thinking about twisting it round to crystal palace as i cant work it out, I was also thinking that the Rouncefall transmitter may be affecting my signal as I don't need my Arial plugged in to watch all the channels broadcasting from this transmitter my post code is SS5 4LG if you need any more info just ask

thank you for your help looking at the aerials near my house most of them are pointing towards crystal palace accept for my neighbour who had a new one fitted and its pointing towards blue bell hill from what i can gather looking at the coordinates, would it be better to alter the position of my bigger 91 element aerial towards one of the London transmitters and put my newer 41 element in the position of sudbury?

Before the switch-over happened i could receive all freeview channels without any problems after the 6th I could no longer channels such as 4 and 5 pick tv usually broke up I could also no longer receive film 4 viva 4 music and some radio stations, the signal was generally poor on most channels accept for bbc and a few others during the day however channels such as pick tv at night the signal strength would be 5-10% but signal quality would be 95% however i think it maybe down to my dvr not working properly as my Panasonic tv didn't have as many problems with signal but it was still very weak and channels such as 4 music and viva film 4 were not working they have signal but no signal quality. last night 4music viva film 4 were all working and the signal was in green so around 60% on my dvr the signal was weaker, this morning i retuned i can now get all HD channels, itv, channel 4, bbc, however i am now missing everything else such as dave 5* mux D mux C the I believe channel 49 had 10 to 20 % signal quality but no strength ? used to be able to get 71 tv channels but now when rescanning i can only get 22, i don't think its my aerial as its a 91 element wide band and it used to work fine (its mounted out-side my house) the signal is also split 3 ways but is fed through an amplifier. Any ideas? I'm losing the will to live
