Peter: The transmitter has no reported faults. So logically, the fault lies with you - check your aerial system.

Hilary Woodward: 'It is an absolute pain, and a joke when there are supposedly no reported problems with the Tacolneston transmitter.'
Since there ISN'T a problem with the transmitter, there is only one alternative - your system!
I must admit to slightly be in despair - a whole rash of people have reported 'no signal', and insisted that it must be the transmitter, even though all information says its fine.
Both Mike P and myself have continually said the same thing about its most likely the householders system, and still the same questions come in, again and again.

Marie and Mrs Rolea: You both have the same problem - your aerial are not working properly. And nobody is going to send a technician.....

Ed Hopper: You didn't give a signal strength for that mux, but you did say 'it was high in all weather conditions'. Check what that 'high' means. Usually, a 'no signal' means just that, but of course you can also overload the tuner - and the breakup/no signal can look much the same. Remember to thick about all the channels on that mux to be the same power - if your getting a problem with one, you should be getting a problem with them all.
If its way about 75%, then look at 'too much of a good thing'.
There is one more possibility - that your system has a lose connection somewhere, but its so small and so infrequent that its hardly noticed - it does happen! Good luck in getting to the bottom of the mystery!

MikeP: One other possibility occurs to me. Yes, adverts are louder than problems, I think due to the assumption that we all turn down the volume during ads. But nobody should be going from perhaps 12-15 to 55 on a Samsung.
Michael King - Are you watching the films via the TV or via another box? If its via a another box, check that its volume is up to max, because otherwise your listening to a low volume, but having to turn it up high.
If the volume is off on all media - TV, DVD, internet, etc, than you need to take it back to the shop, because thats very strange.

Steve Matthews: Your closer to Waltham than I am, and you shouldn't be missing a mux. If you are, its a classic sign of something wrong with your aerial system - so check signal levels on all muxes and check which transmitter your on. If all the levels are lower than they should be, and that mux has gone, then start on the signal path, back from the TV. Could be as simple as dodgy (and easily replaced) aerial lead, but after the high winds etc we've had, could be more serious.

Andrew Gurney: Google aspect ratio. Dads Army was designed for a 4:3 ratio screen, not 16:9

Susan: Since the transmitter seems to be fine, its almost certainly a problem with your system, possibly a duff cable, frayed connection, etc.
In the meantime, you can stream via Iplayer.

Sarah : Then you have an underlying problem with your aerial system, and it needs to be checked.
