Malvern (Worcestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitterThursday 29 September 2011 4:18PM

I still have intermittent problems with HD channels on Malvern Transmitter. I have tried all recommended procedures.
My Fox T2 says that on channel 60 Signal Strength 54%, Quality 100%, when I have excellent pictures, no signal when I have no reception.
That looks to me like an intermittent transmitter problem on that channel. All SD channels are working perfectly.

I fully endorse Brian G's comment. We need a reliable up to date information service on Tansmitter status. I have also wasted time trying to receive a faulty channel.
All the status services I could find were reporting no problems at Malvern. The BBC faq service on reception problems does not include HD serices in the drop down menu on "which channel(s) are affected.
While I agree that Briantist has been attentive to our problems, he did state unreservedly yeterday at 6.42pm "the transmitter is just fine" I assume he has the same problems as the rest of us with the inadequate information services.

Just a quick observation on signal strength and quality levels. They differ between manufacturers and possibly even models. My Humax Fox T2 says Channel 4 has a signal strength of 50%, whereas the TV it feeds says 90%. Quality also differs but by less.
