I have a roof top aerial, not sure what band, and a masthead amp. It was pointed at Winterbourne Steepleton and producing a good analogue signal this morning, so I'm fairly sure it is not a wiring problem.

According to the map here, I should be getting a good signal from Mendip, but I have repolarised and moved the aerial and the TV's signal strength meter shows nothing, not even a flicker. I've tried Rowridge too. Am I just expecting too much? I never got much of an analogue signal from either of these.

KMJ: Thanks for the pointers. It looks like I'll have to wait the year, or mend the satellite receiver. The trouble with Rowridge is there is a hill right next door in that direction (which is presumably why they put the Steepleton repeater in).
