Hi Am I understanding this right the TW transmitter is still on low power, but Heathfield has gone to full power. Some of my TVs are getting picture break up and sound breakup mostly on BBC channels but a few others. Previous to this changeover I had perfect reception on freeview, now it is all over the place. Today it seems ok with picture quality at 90% but signal strength at 40% (on a sony TV) am I getting interference from Heathfield (I am on the south side of TW in Broadwater down) or do I need a new better directional aerial to TW. One othe point I have a loft distributor, but it is now quite old (pre digital) could this be the problem?

Thanks for that JB38 in fact I am higher up in TN2 5NQ Broad Grove. And yes I do have a chimney Ariel supposedly a band b 12 element and it looks like a yogi so might be broad spectrum not just band B. I have since found that I am also getting channels (poor quality though)from Crystal Palace even though my aerial is at 90 degrees to pointing to crystal palace!
Now considering either a very directional aerial to try and screen out Heathfield, not so concerned about Crystal Palace as they are not a problem on frequencies. Another alternative is get a new aerial for crystal palace, I have noticed a few houses around me point that way anyway. What a pain in the but, it was new aerial just 3 or 4 years ago as the signal then was not good enough!
