Bluebell Hill (Medway, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Thursday 19 September 2019 8:03PM
Sevenoaks

We are in a strong crystal Palace area but have found that we can receive the channels which carry the local programmes (ch32 for BBC southeast) and (ch34 for Meridian) from Bluebell Hill very well on a different aerial, until about 6 weeks ago when the ch32 signal became so weak that it is unwatchable, whereas the ch34 signal is still fine. Has anything changed on the transmitter to cause this ie reduced power or change of radiation pattern?
The Bluebell Hill aerial is mounted in the front garden at a height of 6 feet above ground level and receives the signal along Old London Road (Knockholt TN14 7JW) which runs east-west at that point. I have an aerial switch next to the TV. I am a retired BBC engineer and have set this up myself. I would appreciate any ideas.
It has worked well since Digital Switch Over. I have checked everything to do with the aerial etc & is OK.

I have tried to retune PSB3 which is listed as freq ch 48 to get TBNuk on prog ch 66 but have got another prog - CBS Reality - instead. On phoning Freeview they said it should be freq ch 30 for this programme. Could you check this please, many thanks, Ray

Hello ]
Tonight I selected programme no. 12, Quest, on frequency channel 25 and it said retune your TV.
I did a manual tune on freq ch 25 and have now lost the programme no.12 and all reference to Quest has gone. Is this programme still available?
Many thanks
Ray
