Get signal from Rowridge. Aerial is in loft. No problems with Freeview reception before the first retune. Since then many problems with picture/sound freezing, pixelation, etc. Had an 'aerial man' in. He said problem was low signal strength so fitted an amplifier and renewed the coax down from the loft to the set (its on the outside of the house). No improvement! Despite having a replacement amp with more 'boost' today we've still got the problems. Humax recorder shows around 76% on the signal strength with signal quality normally 100% but jumping around wildly when there's a problem

By the way its the coax that's on the outside of the house not my Freeview box! :-)

Seem to have fixed the problem. Read that rotating my aerial from horizontal polarisation to vertical could do the trick. Since its easy as its in the loft (and no cost!) I tried it yesterday. Last night was the first time since the first retune for Rowridge that WE HAD NO PROBLEMS!
