Seems from what you say I'm certainly not on Winter Hill
but how am I getting a signal from two geographically different locations?
Clearly my sense of direction is way out if i was aiming for Winter Hill.

Thanks, Dave
I'll keep having a go.
Not costing me anything except my time so worth it to see
what I can achieve.
Cheers

Just moved aerial again and this time I'm clearly on MYP and the signal strength and quality are pretty good.
Presumably I could diplex Romiley and MYP but does that mean a large reduction in signal strength/quality?
Could you recommend an suitable diplexer as some are perhaps not the best quality and what do I need to watch out for.

Thank you for your advice I'm very grateful for the time you've taken.
Need to think about all you've said but must admit some of it has gone right over my head!
I do have separate aerials for Romiley and the w/band high gain aerial I mentioned earlier so I can already use both but have to change the aerial lead of course.
Lots to think about!!
Thank you for all your help.

Thanks for your comments.
Last night I decided I would connect both aerial leads to a cheap plastic y shaped aerial connector I've had for years and never used. I assume it's designed to split a signal but I've reversed that.
Then I have plugged the Y connector directly into my Freeview PVR but not re-tuned it leaving it tuned to the Romiley transmitter.
Then simply connected the PVR to the TV in the normal way. Then re-tuned the TV only whilst it is receiving a signal from both aerials.
Afterwards I checked whether BBC 1, 2 and ITV were north West and they were and being received from the Romiley transmitter most of the rest including Yesterday and the other channels I couldn't previously receive are
coming from MYP transmitter.
The PVR is only tuned to Romiley and that's all it's picking up the TV however is picking up both.
Slightly concerned by your comment about serious problems perhaps you could expand on that?

Hi, Dave
The set up is working OK since I combined the two aerials into one feed to the PVR/TV
Unfortunately the PVR doesn't allow me to sort the channels which is a a pity.
As has been suggested a switch might be the ultimate solution but for now it's working OK.
Cheers.

I live in Romiley but have moved my aerial to Winter Hill or so I think but BBC1 is shown as 514mhz on Ch26 which doesn't seem to be broadcast from Winter Hill.
If it isn't where am I picking up BBC1 North West from?
Having moved the aerial I can now also receive Yesterday on Ch48 690mhz shown as Wales is this from Moel Y Parc?
Am slightly puzzled by this.
