Further to Steve's comments of 27 Sept and Pogle's last week, I live on Kemp Town seafront BN2 and have noticed significant deterioration in terrestrialFreeviewsignal since the engineering works were carried out on Whitehawk transmitter last month. Everything had been fine in the 7 years I've lived here. BBC 1 and 2 are now often unwatchable because of freezing or pixellation, or off completely. My Humax PVR says we are receiving Mux 1 (Ch66) with 28% signal strength at 40% quality; Mux 2 (Ch50) at 60%/100%; Mux A (Ch 55) at $0%/100%; Mux B (Ch 48) at 60%/100%; Mux C (Ch58) at 40%/100% and Mux D (Ch61) at 41%/100%. Are these the kind of figures other people in our area are now getting?
I don't know what signal strength we had before because all was well and I didn't need to check! Have retuned PVR several times and checked all indoor cables. I have not yet asked neighbours who share our communal aerial if they are also having problems, but i will, as I suppose it could be aerial-related. But it just seems weird that loads of other people posting here are having similar trouble. Any thoughts
