Below are all of Phil's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I think to show a diagram of the terrain between transmitter and receiver for a specific area is a great idea. Good reception always depends on line of sight distance from transmitter to receiver, and whether there is any high ground in between to reduce the signal.

Sutton Coldfield (Birmingham, England) Full Freeview transmitteSaturday 28 January 2012 11:31PM

Postcode WR10 2BP. Tuned to the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, and signal strengh is an average 51% on nearly all channels. What I want to know is why, when watching some channels, the sound and vision go completely out of syncro? It starts off OK but after a while you can sense the syncronisation is out of phase with the picture. Switching channel off, then back on again solves the problem for a while, but surely one should not need to do this to digital TV. Never had this problem with analogue, and yet they say digital is better. If I set my PVR to record a programme whilst I am in bed, how can I correct the sound syncronisation? At the end of the programme it would be out by as much as 5 minutes.

Why is it that a friend whose postcode at Romsley Halesowen is B62 0PL can receive 85 non blocky Freeview channels prior to switch over using a bog standard mini aerial, and yet I who have a top of the range ultra high gain 52 element aerial can only receive 42 channels at postcode WR10 2BP? And of those 42 channels, BBC 4 is the only one that does not go blocky?
At the moment my digital signal strength is showing around about 37%, will that increase after switch over on 7 Sep? I am locked onto the Sutton transmitter. (B62 0PL)
