Brian, font of all knowledge, I once had, now misplaced a web site address which gave all the individual frequencies for each mux channel. (ie psb1 = ch27) but this site gave the actual frqencies for bbc1, bbc2 etc.
Any thoughts ?

High Brian Greensides here in March Cambs.
I have been having all the above reported problems, even checked if my loft aerial had moved. It was ok (set at 205 degrees to pick up Sandy) or if the 8 way distriburtion amp had failed, no it hadn't. We have a freeview Humax box which allows me to monitor the signal strength and quality. At the worst times of interference or in some cases no program received at all, the sig strength was 80-85% and quality ranged from 0 to 45%. Following much hair pulling a friend suggested that the problem was possibly Waltham or Tachleston breaking through and to try removing the loft amp. I followed this advice yesterday and although the signal strength has reduced to 65-70% the quality is still 100% and so far reception has been without problems.
Hope this may help others

jb38, Thank you for taking time to comment on my Mondays posting. I have not as yet reverted to my Amp/Distributor original setup. Also I have not heard of any local installations as you suggest (I did wonder about the new G4 800 mhz interference and even called their help line but they were adamant that as yet there are no masts in this area) I know you said the frequencies are different, but Sandy Heath Com 4/5/6 are close 714, 722, and 690 Mhz. I guess we need to consider harmonics and the fact the loft aerial is the wide band variety. I'm no expert but stranger things happen at sea (so I was lead to believe when I was in the navy)

Much the same here. Total loss of signal at times over the last few days. Hopping around in the loft to check if aerial cables etc had been attacked by creepy crawly things, no.
Problem still persists up to this time.

I have a Desktop PC fitted with twin channel freeview card. and a Hauppauge WinTV v8 program. I have carried out several re-tunes and am missing a couple of channels, which I thought were on 722 MHz frequency. Investigation has shown that 722 MHz is no longer used and is replaced by 594MHz.
however, as mentioned, several scans (retunes) has not found 594 MHz
(The others I'm interested in are ok ie 498, 522, 690 & 714)
What could be the answer ??//

As back up to my claim of very intermittent freeview reception please be aware that I have 3 independent tv sets fed from 2 separate aerials. Could someone from Sandyheath freeview please look at this web site:-
Freeview TV signal down for people across the whole of Cambridgeshire - Cambridgeshire Live
Thank you Brian Greensides
