Re "Paul: The posts above yours warn of engineering work affecting the Aberdare transmitter over the last few weeks. Unfortunately no completion date is given. It may be worth checking for any loose or damaged cables or connectors behind your TV which is a common cause of weakened signal, but do not attempt to retune."
Thanks for the reply.
It has been bad for over a year. It's not due to current work.
Nothing wrong with my wiring. Good signal strength and SNR here.
It's the way it's being transmitted at low quality It seems it's been changed to have very low quality - bandwidth/bitrate/etc - at some point.
I'm a bit fed up of it now.
We already have reduced channels from the Aberdare transmitter. We also currently have reduced quality on major channels too.
It's not good enough.

Currently and for a while now, some channels - especially ITV1 - break up a lot and if I record on my PVR and try jumping around a programme, it goes all over the place.
It seems like the quality was massively reduced at some point.
Not sure when it happened but it's been quite a while now. I was hoping it was temporary. BBC1 is fine.
I would like the quality improved to how it used to be.
