Below are all of julian's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Why,with Freeview from Sandy Heath ,is there no constant signal. One example ,watching BBC1,there is a constance signal strength, but I switch to Channel 25 and find either no signal or it is intermittent,switch back to BBC and it's fine

So, after the update of the Sandy Heath transmitter, I still find the majority of channels prone to lose of sound, pixzlation and complete lose of sound and picture All this after 5 years of having to put up with a poor signal. Yes I know the weather patterns can affect the signal, but every day of the year for the last five years. It is certainly not due to daily weather conditiona in probably 90% of picture and sound break up.
Now then, My neighbour picks up the Oxford transmitter and has the same problem from Oxford as I do from Sandy Heath. Please don't tell me it's the airiel, It's new, it's not the cable, it's new, there is even signal booster in the line and it is not the airiel socket on the tele or any of the connectors as someone rom FReeview told me.
So experts , whats the problem, how's it cured , or am I plagued with a TV signal that spoils my TV entertainment for life.

MikeB: Ever since the introduction of digital and when ever the weather is poor the signal from Sandy Heath breaks up We have tried the Oxford transmitter , same effect. However having only just started to look at BBC 4 we noticed the signal doesn't break up Signal strength is 82 to 84% on all channels including BBC4 yet they break up. We have to retune the tv every time we want to watch ,say, 5USA,Really and others even then with 82% signal they will still break up. Our post code is LU6 2AY. We have a booster attached that has not sovled the probelm. is there an answer
