Do you know if anyone has been successful getting a replacement aerial / engineer visit from freeview?
I have tried phoning twice and both times (oddly I seem to have got the same guy) was told the same story about low power and there's no way I would be able to get COM7/8.
I feel like I'm being fobbed off. I asked directly about an aerial upgrade last time and was told it wouldn't help.
Thanks,
Tim.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for your reply,. I'm in SO40 8DZ. Always used to get excellent signal from com7 and 8 before they moved.
I'm definitely on rowridge, also my aerial is pointing towards the Isle of Wight so it's s definite yes,.
If you think I should get good coverage for channels 55 and 56 from here, I'll be more direct with freeview.
Thanks,
Tim.

Following the advice, I phoned Freeview. Prior to the early march and most recently the 2nd May, I had everything working fine and could easily receive COM7/8. (I'm in SO40).
Having explained I'd lost most of my HD channels (4+1/BBC News/Cbeebies etc.) and a few SD ones (Vintage TV/Keep it Country), I was told that decisions by government have meant that the power has been "dialled down" on the multiplexes that deliver these channels.
When I asked if I would need a new Aerial, I was told that there is nothing I can do as these changes will affect everyone using Rowridge and we would no longer be able to receive these channels.
Has anyone managed to get any better information from Freeview?
