Ever since they have started work on the mendip transmitter... No signal at all! Before it was fine using BTVision box. I live in Weston s Mare. I have had to resort to buying a freesat box utilising the dish that was left on our building by previous owners. I just want to know how long are they going to take with these planned works all over uk. They have disrupted loads of peoples viewing.

I wonder, will the new uprade or scheduled maintenance mean that I will have to update my aireal?

Does anyone know when these disruptive works will be finished. It is really annoying that I had to buy a sat box just to view tv when I pay loeads of money for BTVision. Should I ask for rebate on lake of service?

Can anyone help?
The works on the transmitter have allegedly finished now - but now i have NO SIGNAL AT ALL!!
What did they do to the Mendip Transmitter?
Before the work my Sony Digibox showed a 'FULL' signal strength and 'EXCELLENT' quality, now it is 'AVERAGE' signal strength and 'POOR QUALITY' (in fact next to no quality at all).
My BT Vison box is not getting any signal at all.
I don't believe an aerial could fail overnight - and thus logic dictates that they have done something to the signal that comes from the transmitter...
Can anyone tell me what they did?
Have they lowered the power or something?
Have they started transmitting something else that may interfere with the freeview/vision stuff?
Anyone?

Thanks I have taken the time to look at all the cables and aerial and have decided to plunge for a new aerial as it is getting tired, also by doing this I can get all the cables replaced as they too came with the house and seem rather dated too. Though my neighbours are also having signal issues - but it is likely because they are using boosters - they have taken the boosters out and seem to have better signal now?
I hope that this will resolve the issue - also the engineer may do me a favour (cash in hand) and move the sat cable that leads to a different room to my lounge so I can utilise the twin tuner on it... *here's hoping*
Once I have all this done - I will let you know if I have any further probs... (hoping not).
But thanks for your help.

Would you adam and eve it! Today the signal is now good again. I have moved nothing, changed noting on my cables - but both the digital box and the Vision box are working?? Still going to have the cables looked at just in case it is a loose wire o/s from the aerial - especially as I have booked him now.

I spoke too soon - signal all gone again!
Let's hope that the new aerial being fitted tomorrow will rectify our issues.
I wonder about all the mobile transmitters around our house (some quite close) and whether they are interfering with the digital signal?

We have lost all signal of tv since they started working on the transmitter. Even with a signal booster no joy. It was fine before that. Had to buy a sat box instead.
