Below are all of cf85's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Hi I wonder if you can help.
We live DH7 and are connected to Bilsdale as are all the houses here, because there are hills in the way of Pontop Pike. We have Freeview and analogue. When we are watching freeview for e.g.BBC and ITV its sometimes fineish, others not,and when it gets really bad I try the analogue channel. Often on there, there are white horizontal lines across the analogue picture, lines that move but don't seem to look like anything I've found on web pages referring to interfernce. What is it and can anything be done? I know we change to digital next year but I'm not sure we can last that long!!! How can we find out what might be casuing the interfernce if it is that, and do we need an aerial person or an electrician. One website said interfernce could be from street lights but it doesnt coincide with them coming on.
We have a rooftop aerial with digi quality cable and it was installed by a proper CAI installer in 2007.He also fitted an amplifier.Thanks

Briantist: Hi sorry full postcode is DH7 8NJ. By the 'can't wait'comment I simply meant that the lines across the analogue are driving me nuts!! I fully accept that freeview won't be perfect yet but its so frustrating that good old safe analogue is not good anymore. Any suggestions as to whats casuing it VERY welcome

Hi
If we type in our postcode, DH7 on your reception map,it shows Pontop Pike and Burnhope as nearest. However all the aerial installers in the area tune the aerials to Bilsdale as being strongest using their meters. Is this correct? We get a lot of dropout on Freeview so will this improve when we get the digital switchover and is it likely that we will also get better reception from the Pontop/Burnhope after then? Thanks
