hi, as your existing engineer has tried rowridge and midhurst i am assuming he has used the same aerial each time?
if so, then the aerial being used must be wideband which is not suitable for use on rowridge, a wideband aerial can receive reception from the whole spectrum 21-68 where a ***group a*** aerial should be used on rowridge, 2 benefits to using a group a aerial are 1-you only receive the reception you should be receiving and 2-the aerial is more directed to the reception your looking to receive.
a wideband aerial can receive signal from transmitters even if you are not pointing at them.
you are a very long way from rowridge to be using that transmitter so you need it to work as best as it can which means fitting a ***group a*** aerial.
is you aerial engineer from a reputable company?? or a diy friend??
with aerial reception each location is different, you could be having issues that even you neighbour doesnt have!!....
the thing with reception is sometimes simply moving an aerial a few feet to a different part of the building can make all the difference, location of the aerial is key to it working properly, sometimes it can be a matter of trying all parts of the building before fitting in the best location.
you must first be using the correct aerial for the transmitter you are using.
keep me updated on your progress.

Thats a difficult problem.
Not even knowing where the analogue interference is coming from.
Depending how many tv's you have on your system FREESAT could be a simpler system to connect to, it would be free from the interference you experiencing on your tv aerial.

Hi, I am a approved digital aerial installer in your area.
If you aerial and cabling is of good condition you should be able to turn your aerial from horizontal to virtical which should correct your issues.
The rowridge transmitter now transmits on both horizontal and vertical polarisation.
Its very important the your do not buy nonsense wideband aerials from local diy stores. they can pickup all signals being sent from different transmitters, they also dont perform too well on rowridge.
You should only use a group A aerial on rowridge, this is something you cannot buy in the shop.
If you continue to have issues and want someone credible to do the repairs then my contact details are

SIMPLY :)
if you change your rowridge aerial to vertical it will not affect your 2nd aerial which is on another transmitter.
Changing the polarisation of the rowridge aerial to VP will only enable to receive the reception with a better signal, the mux's which VP receive are exactly the same as the mux's you are receiving on HP.
The aerial doesnt know its receiving HP or VP so cannot cause issues when combining with your 2nd aerial. It is simply receiving reception from certain mux's which do not conflict with the 2nd aerial.

It doesnt matter if the aerial is HP or VP you will receive exactly the same channels....
you cannot have 2 aerials on the same transmitter combined into 1 receiver.
If for some strange reason you wish to use both HP and VP you will need to run seperate cables to seperate receivers.....
BUT as I say there is nothing to gain from this as you will have exactly the same channels.

Hi,
there are currently transmitter works this week on midhurst, this should only result in a weak signal not total loss, however if you system is already running on a weak signal then the reduced signal due to works could result in your loss of reception.
If this persists then you may have other issues on your system.
I am an approved install company who can provide repair and install works should your issue not be related to the current transmitter works.

ALEX -
I have read about lots of people experiencing the same problem.
They are all saying this is deliberate by the companies to make the new 4g look faster than it actually is.
who knows !!!

Hi,
The fact that your neighbour has the same problem rules out any issue with your tv.
Is the problems still current?
Is the sound perfect or distorted?
Is the problem affecting more than one tv in the house?
what is your location?
thanks
Jamie

Hi, I am a professional installer who is a digital approved member.
With regards to the log periodic they have flat gain so perform pretty much like a group A aerial. Not one that I would fit, however I have seen them performing well.
Something which people seem to not advise on this site is one simple thing, your signal received can change from location to location, so I would try testing the aerial on different parts of the building, simply moving the aerial a few feet can make all the difference when receiving signal, location is key to making it all work properly.
hope this helps :)

Has anyone experienced a common fault with the HD channels on a
BUSH FREEVIEW HD RECORDER 320GB
After about an hour there is break up of the HD channels only. I can then change channel, go back to the HD channel and reception is fine again for a lengthy period of time
If this is common to this model I will get a different brand.
Just wanted to see if there is a duff batch on the loose. :)
I am only interested in reviews on the box. There are no issues with the reception, as an installer the aerial is on
Rowridge
VP installed
location PO14 1QD
