Thanks for the help.

Hi
I have been having problems with reception on multiplex PSB1 and PSB3 (all other mupliexes are ok and showing as 100% signal strength/quality) over that last week in particular, PSB3 was ok up until a week ago.
I have a high gain aerial on a 30ft mast on a hillside above my property with masthead amplifier. Ever since Freeview became available we have received it at this location but over the last year and the last week in particular signal strength on the 2 main BBC multiplexers has got worse.
1. Why are these 2 multiplexers so bad relative to the other 6 (8 in total) multiplexes?
2. Why is DigitalUK website showing most (38) UK transmitters intermittently transmitting as weaker signal this week (including Beacon Hill), when BBC website shows no problems on the Beacon Hill transmitter?
Anything you can do to shed light on this problem would be welcome as 10 properties are connected to this aerial (through a distribution system) and all owners are unhappy!
FYI: I am a retired electrical/electronic engineer so have a good understanding of the equipment/transmission etc.
