For C61, I get a consistant 2 for signal quality, and 4 for signal strength. These two readings are whilst the picture/audio are breaking up. Error rate shows as around 3.5-4^10-2. Channels that show as signal quality/stength 4 on my TV are perfectly watchable (C55). C54 shows quality 9 and stength 7.

Got my TVs integrated Freeview HD tuner plugged in to the communal roof antenna (postcode PR1 3NR) via the socket on the wall in my flat, and I can pick up everything on PSB1 (C62), PSB2 (C59), PSB3 (C54) and COM4 (C58). However, COM5 (C61) channels are completely unwatchable most of the time and have constant break up of the picture and audio. COM6 channels work most of the time, but seem to have occasional break up at some times of day. It seems odd that COM6 provides a better signal than COM5, even though COM6 is outputting at 1/8th of the power level.
Is there anything I can do to help this? I can't modify anything to do with the antenna on the roof, but is there anything I can do by the time it reaches my flat to help this?
