Following Steve P's advice found a link to RTIS which has a diagnostic tool in the form of a form. It appears to be a mix of BBC & Ofcom. I await their reply.
Many thanks.

Thank you for your interest. 11 & 82 both receivable at a strength and quality of about 50/60%. Unfortunately I don't know what they were prior to retuning. The postcode is CH3 5PP .

Thank you for your continuing interest. There is already a 4 way booster fitted in the arial lead.Talking to my radio ham neighbour he suggests as do you that my arial may need to be higher as it is about 3ft or so lower than most others round here. Could the change in channel cause such a dramatic loss of signal?

Phil C Chester: jb38 apologies for lack of communication due to severe dose of the lurgy followed by sciatica. Further apologies for in effect wasting your time. During my period of enforced inaction I gave serious thought to the matter and decided to call in the local aerial man. He sorted it in minutes. Not realising the significance of it, I failed to tell you that I have two aerials on a common down lead and in the box where they join together there is a filter unit. This it appears was reducing the signal for channel 50. I don't know why but no doubt you will. Many thanks for your efforts.

Following the re-tune of Winter Hill All channel 50 stations are giving very poor reception, signal is about 75% but quality is between 3% & 10 %. I have retuned using all the ideas given on the site but no change. Having tuned in some of the neighbours sets I know they are not having the same problem. Some years ago Ofcom installed a filter to stop interference from a local radio ham. Could this be the problem? I have tried to contact Ofcom but it is impossible.
