Mendip (Somerset, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Wednesday 11 January 2012 9:07PM
Frome

I have a recent roof mounted aerial pointed at mendip by the installer and have been receiving a good reception of all channels for several years. In the last few weeks the reception has switched to the local Frome town Repeater with the result I now have less channels. The Panasonic Viera TV and DVD Recorder/Player/DAB tuner do not have a manual retune option, auto retune only which just gives me the Repeater, can you advise how I can tune into Mendip again?
thank you

I posted in Jan about receiving the Frown West signal rather than Mendip which my high roof mounted aerial is pointed at-Dave suggested a workaround to plug the aerial in only after 50%of the auto retune, however this did not work despite many attempts, retuning with aerial unplugged first to empty the channels then trying autoretune(only possibility with my equipment) and plugging the aerial in at 25%/50%/75% all still leaving me with a poor quality signal from Frome... any further ideas how I can get back what used to be a good Mendip signal?

Thank you Dave for your helpful comments-I will give this a go later-it doesn't show services when unplugged however the tv is close to the aerial socket which is on the same side of the house as the Frome transmitter so will try to get is far from socket as poss...
